Cat Sitting in Annandale-on-Hudson

“Joe was fantastic! He came over to the house before we left to meet my kitty and discuss her care, which was really nice. Joe was very concerned about her well-being while we were gone and kept us posted with pictures and texts. I would be extremely comfortable leaving Juniper with Joe again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, always first to volunteer to take care of neighbors’ pets when they went out of town and beg to take my friends’ dogs on walks whenever I could! During the last few years I’ve been pet sitting and helping friends out with walks during the day with increasing frequency, normally multiple times a month. My real selling point as a pet sitter/dog walker is my ability to take great photos of your pet to send home! I can fit pet care into my part-time work schedule, as even on my workdays I have a good portion of the morning into the afternoon for taking care of pets. I’ve been housesitting for years now and am used to learning the ways that different pets interact with their environment and paying close attention during the first tour of the house to make sure I can adequately take care of the house along with your pet.

“Victoria went above and beyond to take care of our kitty—over the holiday season and regardless of a blizzard that made travel difficult, she showed up! The updates and photos were so appreciated and thank you for bringing in our packages and deliveries too. Highly recommend and will book with her again!”

About: Dog and cat CPR certified long-time animal lover and caretaker. Comfortable with all cats and dogs, kittens, elderly animals, birds, and special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule so I can make most things work with advance notice! I pick up freelance work as needed, so my schedule varies greatly. I can make pretty much anything work with advance notice, I'm very flexible! I always make sure to have local vet/emergency information for your pet, I am dog and cat CPR-certified in case of emergency, I have an SUV that allows for transport of large animals if needed. I am a very quiet, laid-back person and I will make sure your pets are relaxed and cared for while in my care.

About: I started pet sitting three years ago when I began studying at Bard College and was looking for ways to support myself as a student. If I describe myself, I would say I’m very empathetic. It helps me connect with animals, understand their behavior, and notice when something feels different. I try to be calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality. I understand that pets are family members, and it can be stressful to leave them with someone new. That’s why I carefully follow parents’ rules, routines, and feeding schedules. I always stay in touch and send updates, so owners feel comfortable and reassured. In my recent experience, I cared for two cats for two weeks, for a dog and two cats together for about a week and a half, and I also hosted a large dog in my home for a full month.

“Kayla has been the absolute best cat sitter I could’ve asked for!! My cat is generally very shy with new people but with Kayla’s warmth and friendliness she opened up right away and loved playing with her :) Kayla is super responsive and absolutely would book with her again!”

“Communication with Aimee was good, she kept me updated, asked questions when necessary, dealt with a snowstorm, took care of the kitties, and made getting out of town easy. We would have her again.”

“Jessica was great— will definitely contact her again next time I need to go out of town. She was very good at communicating and sending photo updates. The house and the cats were in good order upon our return. Bravo!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, giving them lots of love and attention. I also have a lot of experience and self learned basic training commands. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which opens my availability for lots of walks and outside play time with your doggo while they are with me. We have a fenced in backyard which leads to the side kitchen door. We also have an outdoor patio area that we love spending time in.

“Bethany was great! She came by before our trip to meet Emma, our Siberian cat, and immediately put us at ease. She communicated clearly and sent daily updates, which we really appreciated while we were away. We knew Emma was in great hands the whole time.”

About: I've cared for many cats and dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and oral medication administration. I'm a patient and compassionate pet owner, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love and care I would my own. I'm also a graduate music student in case your pet might want to be serenaded by a french horn :) I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look well in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, bathing, and medication. I love to play fetch with dogs, go on walks or hikes, visit dog parks, cuddle, practice tricks, or any other enriching activity. With cats, I love to cuddle, play, and practice or try new tricks with treats.

“Sam did an amazing job taking care of my cat Apollo while I was away. My cat seemed happy when I got home which is always a great sign. I’d definitely book with Sam again and highly recommend them to other pet owners!”

“We were delighted that Monica was available at the last minute after another pet-sitter cancelled. She communicated clearly and courteously with us from the start and sent us regular updates and photos. Lucy (our cat) seemed to feel very comfortable with her and was happy and relaxed upon our return. The house was also as clean and orderly as we left it. We can definitely recommend Monica and would be glad to have her stay with Lucy again.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and was responsible for caring for them from a young age. I can take your dog on long walks or give your cat plenty of social play time. I have a few free days that I’m looking to fill by walking and dropping in on my neighbors’ pets. Now that I don’t have a dog of my own anymore, I’m looking to satisfy my pup time fix. I have a friendly and social cat who is looking forward to making new friends. My house is clean and quiet and would be a great spot to host your pets.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from big to small, pure breeds to classic mutts. I am loving and attentive and very reliable. Dogs love me!! I work part time and I have a flexible schedule so I’m able to be present with your dogs when they stay with me so all their needs are met. I treat your pets like my own, so I will spend time with them in the home. I also have a large fenced in yard, and your dog can play, run around or chill!
