Pet Sitting in Bedford

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.

“From the moment we met Diana my dog and kitten both responded to her with no hesitation- my dog loved her from first meeting. Our trip was extended and she was flexible with all the back and forth changes . Which we really appreciate and was reassuring! Not only did she add on last minute service, she also was ready to adjust payment ( credit) for scheduling changes . I am thankful to have found her, and will happily ask for continued help with Diana!”

“You can tell Laurie is an animal lover, which put me at ease when having her take care of my cat after a move to a new area. Communication before, after, and during each visit was great! I felt reassured that my baby girl was being looked after well.”

About: From furry to feathered, I've been surrounded by animals my entire life, nurturing a deep understanding and unwavering passion for their well-being. Growing up with cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and rabbits has instilled in me a lifelong commitment to providing exceptional care for all creatures, great and small. This isn't just a job for me; it's a continuation of a lifelong dedication. What truly sets me apart is my experience with special needs animals. My own beloved dog, Charli, battled a severe form of epilepsy, requiring meticulous management through specialized diets, precise medication administration (oral and nasal), diapering and attentive seizure care, including mobility assistance with a supportive sling. This personal journey has equipped me with invaluable skills and a profound empathy for animals facing health challenges. I also have experience administering oral medication to rabbits, syringe feeding, and even IV hydration. Beyond my personal experience, I actively volunteer at SNARR, a special needs rescue in Brewster, where I walk and socialize dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I'm also currently pursuing my dog training certification, further enhancing my ability to understand and address canine behavior. Animals have always been an integral part of my life, and their well-being is my utmost priority. When you entrust your pet to my care, you can rest assured they will be treated with the same love, attention, and dedication I would give my own. Animal care and welfare is my full time job, so I can easily adapt to your pet's unique needs and provide personalized care. I am Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family! My home offers a comfortable and safe environment, with a large, fully fenced yard where they can enjoy supervised playtime. Inside, I have cozy beds and ample space for crating if needed. I understand that every pet is unique, so I'll tailor my schedule to perfectly match your pet's exercise, feeding, and medication needs. We're fortunate to live in an area with plenty of beautiful walking and hiking trails, perfect for exploring with energetic pups. My two children, ages 8 and 11, are animal lovers who understand the importance of respecting individual needs and temperaments. They're also fantastic playmates for dogs who enjoy a good romp! Finally, we have a house rabbit who will always be kept separate from any visiting animals, ensuring everyone's safety and comfort.

About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.

“Marta was absolutely wonderful with my three cats during my trip! She gave me daily updates and photos that put my mind at ease, and I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for. She made sure they were fed on schedule, kept their area tidy, and gave them plenty of love and attention. Even my shy one warmed up to her, which says a lot. I came home to happy, relaxed cats thanks to her care. I would definitely book Marta again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! 🐾”
