Pet Sitters in Spring Valley, NY

Braquel

Braquel is the perfect sitter, does exactly what you ask and more! will definitely use her again !

Monika

Monika was an excellent sitter! My boys were well cared for and happy when I returned home. It was lovely to be able to chat at both ends of the sit. She asked thorough questions about the home and medications that one of my cats takes. I felt really safe leaving my cat who needs twice daily medication. Definitely can recommend Monika!

Vanessa

I couldn't have asked for a better housesitter than Vanessa and her mother Pat. We enjoyed meeting them for dinner the night before our trip, and Vanessa communicated with us throughout our trip to let us know everything was going great. One of our senior animals requires medication and TLC, and she took it in stride and gave her all the love I would have. We came home to a tidy home and happy pets. I would highly recommend Vanessa for your sit and would be happy to have her again!

Evangeline

Evangeline took great care of Zeki and Oscar while I was traveling. She sent photo updates everyday and the cats seemed totally content and happy. She was easy to reach and she also left the apartment very clean. I would highly recommend her.

Sophie

This was the 2nd time Sophie sat for Juno - she's just fantastic! Took such great care of my home and Juno, and had great communication. I was away for 10 days and she made everything so easy and gave me such comfort while away. Highly recommend and hope to have her back for future travel needs!

Robin & Melissa

Robin and Melissa were a lovely couple who cared for my home and my creatures with love and attention. I would welcome them back anytime.

Amy

This was the second time Amy sat for us and we are so lucky that she chose to come back! Our dog loves her and we love her daily updates letting us know what her and Meeka are enjoying each day. Anyone would be lucky to have Amy come sit for them! She is welcome back to our place anytime (whether for a sit or just a visit!)

Jessica

My 9-day trip overseas was going to be the longest I had ever been away from my cat Lenny since I foster failed and adopted him 4 years ago. Lenny has a medical condition that can be aggravated by stress, and I was worried that my going away for this length of time could stress him out. So I wanted to make sure he was cared for my someone who prioritized him and wanted him to be comfortable. Jessica was the first sitter who applied after I posted the sit, and after some correspondence we had a video chat, with left me with a very good feeling about her. Many other sitters applied and I was in contact with several of them, but for a variety of reasons, Jessica felt like the best choice. I am so glad I chose her! She communicated with me regularly, in the way that I requested, with messages and photos so that I always knew how Lenny was doing. Part way through my trip we had a video call so I could check in with her and see Lenny live. It was very clear from the start that Lenny really liked and trusted Jessica and that he was getting a lot of love and attention. This gave me great peace of mind. I came back to a very neat and tidy home, left as I requested. And while Lenny was happy to see me, I knew that he was not ignored while I was away. I feel so fortunate that Jessica was my catsitter. She was reliable, communicative and organized and I will use her again whenever possible!

Courtney & Richard

Courtney recently looked after our three dogs, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. Her enthusiasm and bubbly personality were truly refreshing, and it was clear from the start that she has a genuine passion for animals. Courtney took excellent care of our dogs, giving them plenty of attention and exercise. It was evident that she treats animals with love and respect, and our dogs absolutely adored her. One of the highlights of having Courtney as our pet sitter was the daily updates she sent us. We loved receiving photos and videos of our pups, which helped us feel connected to them even while we were away. In addition to taking great care of our dogs, Courtney was very respectful of our home. She kept everything clean and was always courteous when cooking, ensuring she left no mess behind. Her superb communication skills made it easy to coordinate and gave us peace of mind during our travels. For any pet parents who travel and miss their pets, having Courtney as your pet sitter will be a wonderful experience. We recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and enthusiastic pet sitter.

LeAnn

The girls were amazing. Our place was left super tidy and clean. They were 100% self-sufficient and organised, especially taking into account that there were record-breaking floods in Vienna during their stay! We were nervous and worried about leaving them with auch big responsibility during these difficult times, but they did perfectly! Even managed to get Chula to go to the loo in the rain (which even we struggle with!), impressive. They are both super sweet, and our babies fell in love with them instantly (I think the love was mutual:) ). They took Chula for a walk in the vinyards, and we got plenty of pictures too! Getting silly picture updates from them was out highlight, and we thank them for making our time away enjoyable. Thank you, ladies!! Hope your travels go far and we wish you all the best! Maybe we will come visit you one day :)

Glyvolner & Okeoma

Gly and Oke were the most lovely guests and sitters, they felt like part of our family for a few weeks. They were so caring and thoughtful and super flexible as our trip kept expanding. They took care of everything and we felt so assured the entire time. Whenever we were missing our pets, we would receive wonderful snapshots and knew they were in great care. Taylor especially seemed to enjoy her mornings in Prospect Park with Gly. She looked so happy! Our place was so clean and welcoming upon our return and they left a lovely note and some gorgeous flowers to boot! Highly recommend!! 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — MAKE IT SIX! ⭐️

Carly

Carly was a fantastic, thoughtful, reliable, thorough, and responsible cat sitter, and my experience with Carly as my sitter was overwhelmingly positive! From the very start of our correspondence, Carly was extremely responsive, and she provided me with frequent updates during the sit indicating that my cat Daisy was happy and well cared for. She left my apartment sparkling clean, and was extremely conscientious with her communication and caretaking. It’s always difficult to leave my beloved fur baby for such a long time, but Carly did an amazing job during the 2.5 week long sit and I trusted her fully. Thank you so much for everything!

Barbara

I had a wonderful, peaceful time at this housesit. Barbara and Dennis have a lovely home in a safe and friendly neighborhood in Novato. The house was immaculate, the bed and linens comfortable, the kitchen perfectly outfitted, and the living area cozy and filled with interesting books and art.

But the star of the housesit was Jackson. Jackson is a sweet, calm, loving dog. Nothing bothers him! I LOVED taking care of Jackson. We had lots of nice walks around the condo property which has several pretty and shaded walking paths. Jackson is calm, but he is social! He was definitely looking around for a select few of his dog friends, and was very happy when we encountered them.

Barbara and Dennis are very kind and welcoming. I hope I can see them again and spend more time with good old reliable Jackson. Thanks!

Nancy

I had a great time caring for Buddy the beagle. The town where Nancy lives is lovely, full of good people and good places to eat and shop for supplies. It's also only 30 or so minutes from downtown, the 'EL' being really close to the apartment.

Buddy is a sweet dog, he's great with all sorts of people including kids. If you haven't had too much experience handling dogs he can be a bit of a handful on the leash.

Jo

It is easy to describe Moes in two words Regal&Serene - if you follow her very explicit orders. 
She is not shy at all and will allow to be picked up for a hug or to be brushed, stroked and massaged. 
Moes is a very independent spirit and does not like to be crowded when she is awake and inside. She has a way of looking at you to convey what she wants. 
Moes, you're a star. 
Moes resides in a beautiful home that leaves nothing to be desired. 
Communications with Sonja and Jo were excellent.

Marianne and Brad

We had a lovely time at Marianne & Brad's taking care of Loki. He is the sweetest, most cuddly kitty. He was super easy to take care of, quiet at night and loves playing in the back yard. Marianne & Brad were awesome. Communication was fine and we appreciated the contact prior to and the delicious dinner they made us. They left us some treats for our stay which was very thoughtful. The house and property are lovely. Everything you need in the kitchen and plenty of extra non parishables were offered. Good hiking, walking and kayaking/beaches nearby; very cose to Kelowna. We would recommend this stay and would be happy to come back. Thank you both for everything!

Katelyn

Katelyn was great and made sure I knew where everything was.  Randy and Leo are adorable and great snugglers! Can't wait to sit again

Shane & Geena

Everything was great! Shane and Geena were very helpful and kind, and their pup Ollie was so sweet and easy to take care of. Thank you Shane and Geena!
