Cat Sitting in Albany

“Pooya is a wonderful and gentle person and we know we can trust him with our cat and house while we travel. Our cat is old and generally very standoffish with everyone but has warmed up to Pooya.”

“IIhem is incredible! She’s great with all pets and is so intentional with the care and time she has with them. For our cat Benny she was extremely attentive, responsive and helpful to any pivots of care needed ! She truly allowed us to enjoy our stay away without worrying too much about our cat because he was in such good care with IIhem ! We will be booking again with her and I suggest if you have a furry creature you care about you book with her as well!!!”

“Tania is more than a pet sitter, she’s Aunt Tania to our fur baby. Not only does she take great care of our cat, Gracie, she also takes care of our house as if it was her own. She’s just a joy to be with too!”

“Sandrine was very caring, and left sweet little messages along with the photos for the Rover cards. Both cats were happy to see me rather than snubbing me as the usually do upon return. I would recommend Sandrine highly”

“Amelia took wonderful care of my cat, Elodie. She was very attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire booking. She sent me daily photos and updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated how carefully she followed the care instructions and asked thoughtful questions whenever she noticed something or wasn’t sure. It showed how much she genuinely cared about Elodie’s wellbeing. Elodie can be a bit shy, but Amelia was patient and gentle with her, and it was clear from the photos that Elodie felt comfortable around her. I’m very grateful for the care and attention she gave. I would absolutely recommend Amelia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you again, Amelia!”

Sohyun S.

“I highly recommend Beatrice. I am very nervous about leaving my pets but Beatrice took all of the worry out of the experience. She is very conscientious and everything was done perfectly. She is very good with the animals (in our case two older cats) and very good with the humans who received great write-ups about our cats and very sweet pictures of Eloise and Kingsley. I can't recommend Beatrice highly enough!”

Ellie M.

“Maria is so sweet with our dog. We are always so assured when we know she’s coming.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I love spending time with animals and provide careful and loving attention to them all. I’m an avid hiker and trail runner so I love being outside with active animals. I am currently working part time and my work schedule is flexible! I’m around weekends and early mornings. I make sure to fit pet care in with my other responsibilities. I make sure to carefully follow instructions left by the pet owner and always ask questions if I have them and send regular updates about the pet.

About: For the past 30 years I have been a champion of animal protection, a professional animal care specialist, and an international animal rescuer with a background in holistic pet care. I started my petcare business in 2003 called Royal Pets Holistic Care. Aside from exercise, feeding, grooming, I provide comprehensive holistic care and wellness education. My motto is “We treat your pets like Royalty because they deserve the Royal Pampering.” The mission is to restore our original Harmony and deep Connection between nature and humans. This is achieved through providing holistic wellness care services. Specialized Care for: Pets with a history of abuse or trauma Shy and anxious temperaments International Rescued dogs Hospice, chronically ill, or has medical condition Misunderstood behaviors labeled Geriatric senior pets ESA training and certification for Emotional Support Animals Holistic natural pet care and education, ie. Nutrition, BARF, medical care Teach animal communication to help you deepen your bond of intimacy Experience I specialize in caring for pets with a history of abuse or trauma, shy and anxious temperaments, chronically ill pets or pets with a medical condition, international rescued dogs, misunderstood undesirable behaviors, and geriatric care for older pets. I have volunteered extensively in animal rescue, including SPCA feral cat TNR programs, international street dog spay/neuter efforts in India, and rescue work during major natural disasters. My journey as an animal communicator was shaped by rescuing my first dog, Summer, who was deemed “unadoptable” due to severe trauma and taught me how to truly “speak dog.” Shaped by a lifetime of rescuing traumatized and misunderstood animals, my work is rooted in deep empathy, trust, and learning to truly speak the language of animals. Today, I teach animal psychology to help humans better understand, communicate with, and emotionally support their pets. * Animal Medical Fund: I donate emergency medical funds at an animal sanctuary/TNR in India for stray dogs and cats. For the Love of Animals and Respect of Nature, Royal Pets Petsitting Service cats and dogs. This type of thing is a labor of Love and it goes both ways. Animal Rescue: I volunteered for the SPCA Feral Cat Team TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program rescuing and socializing feral cats and finding homes for them. I focus on helping India with their spay/neuter and medical care for street dogs. I coordinated TNR in rural villages and in the Andaman Islands, where my dog Snoopy is from. I coordinated animal rescue for several natural disasters. I have rescued many animals in my lifetime, both dogs and cats, and shared photos in my gallery. Holistic Care: What is it? Holistic Care is about being attuned to the individual needs of each animal. I have 25 years of experience as a Wellness Professional. I help humans and animals to Thrive with healthy lifestyle, harmonious relationships and spiritual wellbeing. I attune to each individual animal’s needs through my honed Animal Whispering skills. I am currently working on expanding my holistic care services and so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am available 7 days a week and weekends. I spend time with your pet observing their personality and getting to know their personality traits. I am fun and play with them a lot. I give them lots of physical affection and I talk to them like they are human. I listen to what they tell me. I have honed animal communication skills from my many years of both rescuing and rehabilitating animals, and as a professional pet sitter/dog walker. I am gentle yet firm when setting boundaries. My philosophy for building trust and safety is being highly attuned to animals and respond to their cues. I make sure to know what the pets' triggers are and provide them with a safe and loving environment, avoiding their triggers as much as possible and being the strong leader of the pack when necessary to create space and strong boundaries. I am a licensed and bonded Professional Petsitter

About: I have always been a huge fan of animals, ever since I was a child. My family has had many dogs throughout the years, as well as cats, reptiles, and even fish at a time. I am very social and respectful of both the owners and the pets, and am looking to help however I can. I just graduated university so I have a lot of free time on my hands and am happy to housesit or take care of pets whenever works best for the owners. A proper balance of love, play, and respect. I make sure my pets know they are loved and cared for, and play with them if they want and let them rest if needed. I am happy to take pets on walks or follow certain procedures or training in order to maintain routine for the pets if necessary as well.

“William was great! We have a pretty reticent kitty who lets maybe 6 people in the world touch him, and usually hides under the bed when new people come by. Within a day or two William was best buddies with Eli, even able to pick him up and carry him around. William took great care of Eli and our house, and the wonderful pictures and videos he sent were very comforting during the longest time we'd been away from our cat.”

“Ami took great care of our cat & home while we were away for the weekend! She was communicative and our cat definitely appreciated the company.”

“Emily was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She took care of my cat in her own home and treated them like her own with so much love, patience, and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in a safe, calm, and caring environment. Emily kept me updated and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and routine. I came back to a happy, relaxed cat, which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring cat sitter.”

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve worked closely with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to meet each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s high-energy play, gentle walks, medication routines, or extra patience and reassurance, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, happy experience while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I prioritize consistency and communication so your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and boundaries. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort levels and adjust care as needed, especially for senior pets or those with special needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, and I treat every home and pet with respect.
