House Sitting in Pine Plains

Emily was great with Lily, my frightened chihuahua rescue. She was gentle, understanding and patient and I knew we were both in good hands for an overnight stay. I appreciated Emily’s quick responsiveness via texts and photos, and she left my house looking cleaner than it usually does. She even shoveled the snow so I’d have an easy entrance to the house the next day! I will hire Emily again in a heartbeat, highly recommend.

Where to start? Lisa was immediately attentive and receptive to a meet and greet. Her confidence in her ability to handle animals in general and dogs, in my case, specifically gave my pup an air of super calm. His immediate response to her was a "Hello!" and a sniff and then a "come on, I'll show you my yard!" This is not typical behavior for a first time meet. He could sense her confidence and comfort level with him. I gave her permission to take him with her in her car if she was going out but cautioned not to expect much since he has never gotten in a car that was not one of a family member's, although he's been invited to do so. He happily and uncoerced hopped in. She took him to a few of her outings and he did just fine. Separation anxiety is a real behavior for him from us, his family. He was clearly was soothed by her care for him. We were away for a 48 hour "holiday" and all went beyond our hopeful expectations. We also have 3 kitties and they were content as well. All that said, I would look for Lisa to care for our home, pup, and kitties again and again and again. And BTW, I'd like to add that our home was well cared for too. Lisa had free reign and all was well upon our return. Hire her.

Cassie was fantastic! She house/dog sat for a week and we returned to happy pups and a clean/tidy house. Her communication is outstanding - always quick to respond and she sent regular photos/videos throughout her stay. We can’t say enough positive things about Cassie - she earns an A+ from us!!

Christine took our last minute request despite getting off a plane that same day. She cared for our dog Banjo and our home like it was her own. Would use her again and recommend to anyone.

Rose did an excellent job with our dog, chickens, and house while we were away. She was attentive and responsive, and provided updates and pictures every night. She even cleaned our house and took care of some laundry and chores that we had left! Would highly recommend Rose to anyone, and will definitely be requesting her again in the future.

We are repeat bookers! Our pets LOVE her and we always feel totally at ease when she’s staying with them, super responsible and great communication. She has experience with very big dogs which is also a plus for us. Thanks again!!

Katelynn was conscientious and caring with our senior dog Tiny. She also took care of some house plants when she dogsat for us. She sent pictures regularly and kept in touch with questions. We appreciated knowing we could go on vacation and our dog was in good hands.

Emily was incredible! She’s watched my boys multiple times and when she comes back, my dogs lose their minds with excitement! Emily sends great pictures and updates while she’s with my animals and makes me feel comfortable and at ease when I leave my boys with her. Highly recommend!

Very nice, our dog loved her. They took a long walk and even took her on a just because car ride together. Shelby left the house and we came home to a happy dog.

Rochelle was great — she arrived on time, was very responsive, and kept me updated with messages and photos while I was away. My dogs especially Peach loved her right away, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I’d be happy to book with her again.

Ebony was wonderful with my senior, reactive dog. Highly recommend and will absolutely be booking her to watch Hamilton again!

Janice was amazing! She's a true animal lover. Our dogs had such an amazing time with her. Janice sent photos and messages to keep me updated on how they were doing. I didn't have to worry at all! Will def book her again soon! :)

Sofia was wonderful. She took the time to connect with our pets and she communicated and made us feel included with photos and videos.

Elisha is a wonderful pup sitter. She sat our beloved doggies, Joni & Jaco with great attention to detail, warmth and care. I finally felt like I could truly relax on vacation!
