Top rated Apalachin cat sitters
“Shannon took great care of our cats, Mittens and Lily while we were away. She also fed our son's fish. I like to leave a list for our pet sitter when we're gone and Shannon followed the instructions perfectly. The house looked great and she gave us peace of mind. We will definitely ask her to care for our girls in the future.”
“Kate goes above and beyond to make our 5 cats content when we are away in addition to doing some serious cleaning before we came back to welcome us to a clean home. I highly recommend her.”
“Very responsive, excellent communication, and attentive while looking after my cats. I am very pleased with Samuel. I will definitely continue working with him. Highly recommend Samuel if you have cats.”
“Fantastic sitter! She was able to help me in a pinch SAME DAY. Sent lots of photographs and let me know how my sweet fur babies were doing. Very communicative. Helped me to understand how to navigate the app (not her job! Ha!) and was immensely gracious.”
“Dana was so good with our cats. The daily updates on our babies were thoughtfully written and it helped keep our anxious minds at ease. We were so lucky to find her on a very short notice and couldn’t be more grateful”
“Terry is so professional and friendly to work with. Our pets are truly such an important part of the family. When we go out of town, it means the world to know they are in caring and capable hands. One of our cats requires daily medication and Terry did not bat an eyelash. That meant a lot. I appreciate the visit updates tremendously. I will definitely be contacting Terry again and would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Stephenie is awesome! She took such great care of our four cats and even kept an eye on the mail while we were gone. She sent cute, detailed updates at every visit and kept a regular schedule. Knowing our cats were in good hands helped us relax and enjoy our trip :)”
About: I have many animals at home and love taking care of them. I have watched and taken care of many pets throughout my childhood and find a connection with eat pet to help them trust me. I’m currently looking for a new job so I will be available at any time for your needs! I can do any time during the week besides Sundays! I will follow any direction given to me to take care of pets and make sure they are happy and safe! I also will make sure to watch them and make sure they are happy and healthy!
“I needed my cat boarded for the day and he accepted boarding her. He was reliable with communication and was able to have my cat boarded and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend for sitting or boarding your pet.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a baby. There have always been those extra family members present in my life. As soon as I got out of the hospital when I was just born, there were our cats, Sheba and Pepper, roaming about, and by the time I was four there was also our dog, Auggie! Beyond that, I have never had a dull moment with nature’s friends. I’ve taken care of my grandma’s cats with their different medicines, litter, brushing needs, and more! My girlfriend has 2 dogs and a cat, so whenever they go on vacation, I step in to take care of them, from food to walking to play-time and everything in-between! It’s also worth noting that I also take care of my girlfriend’s frogs, fish, and gecko, so if you have swimming or reptilian friends that need taking care of, I’m your person! I am currently taking a chemistry course, so my schedule right now excludes: Monday - Wednesday from 12pm to 5pm Thursday from 12pm to 2pm Other than these times, I am completely free, including weekends! To begin, it’s worth noting that I am a patient caregiver. If your pet is shy and you’re a bit skeptical about getting someone to take care of your animals, we can set something up with them to see how we get along! It’s important to make sure they’re comfortable with me before anything is set. Anything your animal(s) needs, I will ensure that I am prepared to put the work in. All animals deserve an understanding and patient mindset. If something makes them uncomfortable, I’ll be sure to remove them from the situation or remove what is making them uncomfortable. Their safety is absolutely one of my biggest priorities, whether we are on a walk or in your own home.
“Jamie made sure both of my kitties had plenty of food. He stayed for an hour each time. They were warming up to him by the fourth day. He will do what you want him to do to take care of your kitties. Thank you, Jamie”
“Julia was great! She made everything easy and did exactly what we asked during her visits. She sent us some really sweet photos of our cat Cowpoke, who’s usually shy around strangers but seemed at ease and friendly with her! It was a smooth experience overall. I’d definitely recommend her to other cat owners and would be happy to book with her again!”
About: My whole life I have always had dogs. I absolutely love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. It is so much fun to meet new animals! I have no job as of right now and I only go to school from 9:10 am-2:26 pm with an hour and a half break everyday from 11:22 am -12:58 pm. I will do anything asked of me to help take care of your fur babies to cause you no stress while you are away! I will even take them to the groomers and vet if needed.
About: I've had experience with an assortment of animals for a large part of my life. I volunteered an animal shelter in Scottsville, NY for about two years walking dogs of every size and taking care of cats. I have also housed two large German Shepherds and three Dachshunds, both of which are very demanding breeds. I currently reside in Owego, NY, and I work part-time in Endicott, NY Monday through Wednesday from 8AM to 5PM. I may provide brief surfaces on evenings these days, such as a walk or stop-in. Any other day is fair game. Per the restrictions of my apartment complex, I won't be able to care for or bring pets in my home. However, I would be sure to respect any client's home I may enter.
About: I have been a dog groomer on and off for the last 12 years. I have gone to school for animal science, and have been around animals my whole life. Including farm animals. I have worked with tiny to extra large dogs, i have also worked with aggressive dogs. I am able to feed early morning and evenings, I can also give medication and deal with any other medical need. I am available to have an animal stay at my house. I live in the Campville area and work in Owego. Im currently a bus driver in Owego. I work several hours in the morning with time in between and then work several hours in the afternoon. I have a beagel/Jack Russell mix and a cat that can help keep your pet company. I do have room if your pet needs to be crated.
