House Sitting Cold Spring

“Jackie did a fantastic job house sitting. Jackie took excellent care of our dog. I loved how she sent us photos of our dog while we were away, we knew she was in great care!”

“Maria was great with our two Aussies! She sent updates including photos each day, played fetch with them outside, and left our house immaculate. She even won over our nervous pup. We are also so appreciative to her for allowing us to add an extra night super last-minute without any complaints. I would highly recommend her for overnight stays with your pups! :)”

About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.

“Madeline helped us out when we needed some last minute help over labor day weekend. She was a star! Our dog takes a bit to warm up to people and not only was Madeline patient but gave me confidence in leaving him last minute. She gave us great updates. So happy to have found her!”

“Thank you for everything and for staying and extra day!”

About: I love getting to know each individual pet’s personality and needs, and approach them with respect to make them feel comfortable and safe. I have many years of experience with animals who need insulin shots and oral medications, and experience with all ages. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! At home, I have a tripod husky and a cat who has traveled far with me. I go on miles-long walks every day… always with dog treats in my pockets :) I'm currently working from home setting my own schedule, so walking your dog would fit well into my day. If you live near me, an overnight at your place is possible as I like to give my Stormy cat her breakfast and outside grass time by mid morn. I have lots of cat toys in my house for my cat. I hope your dog has toys and if it's just a walk, then a good leash and baggies to collect poop are essential. I am all about fresh water and seeing that their space is just how they like it.

“Candace was amazing! I was worried leaving my 7 wk old puppy but they did wonderfully! Candace kept me posted with pics and made sure he was well taken care of! Definitely will be using again and recommend!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals for my whole life. Appreciation from animals became important to me and care for them became important too. No task is too much for taking care of my own or someone else's pet(s). I have a routine for how I take care of my own cat (ie. feeding schedules and litter cleaning schedules). My evenings are some of the most important times for caring for pets either through direct care or playing, as this is both for them and for me. I would care for them a lot like I care for my own pet. Feeding, care, and play routines all matter. As long as the dog/cat is willing to participate in play with me (with trust and in their comfort zone) I would engage with them.

“Sarah was amazing. Our little mini dachshund Gus was in love with the walks and playtime Sarah made happen. From the cute Pics to a personalized watercolor of our sweet Gus. Can't thank you enough.”

“I can’t recommend Tiffany enough! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and was super easy to work with. She came for a meet and greet and was so sweet to our cat. Charlie (the cat) has been anxious to be left alone for long periods of time since her sister passed last year, so I really needed someone to spend time with her and give her the attention we normally would. Tiffany did exactly that and then some! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and I knew that Charlie was being doted on so I could fully relax while away. Tiffany is clearly an animal lover and it shows in her care! She followed all of our instructions to the letter AND left our apartment in tip top shape. I will definitely be working with her again!”

“Morgan was great with Yuji! Really responsive and sent us photos. And Yuji was really comfy with her! Thank you!”

“Alyssa was great with our dogs! We went away for two nights and didn't worry at all about leaving them. The amount of communication and pictures was perfect. We will definitely be using Alyssa's services again in the future!”

About: I do not have a pet on my own due to my frequent travel schedule but that only means that your pet will get that extra love I have to share. I am caring and attentive, I notice the little things—each pet’s quirks, moods, and routines—and respond with patience. Your little or big friend will not get bored while in my care. I am a drafter working for an architectural company in Cheektowaga, my schedule is 8-5 every weekday. I love long walks after work in the evening, so don’t hesitate to shoot me a message even if the walk is needed within an hour! I will do my best to comfort your pet while you are away, I can play and train them, go on long walks, also if needed I can take a dog to a dog park or to vet appontments.

“Very competent and professional. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs and our house in her hands. Our pups were very happy and even whined a bit after her. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again.”

Jacqueline M.

“Katelyn was fantastic! She’s a consummate professional and understands dogs incredibly well. She provided frequent communication and lots of pictures. We returned to happy dogs who had clearly been very well cared for. We look forward to having Katelyn stay with our dogs again in the future!”

About: I have extensive experience working with a range of dog temperaments and personalities. Whether your dog is highly energetic and hyperactive or calm and low-maintenance, I know how to adapt to their specific needs. I take pride in getting to know each dog’s personality and building a strong, lasting bond with them. My Special Skills: Leash Training: Due to the diverse personalities I have encountered, I have become highly skilled at managing and improving leash manners during walks. Customized Care: I naturally adapt my energy and routine to match what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. Patience & Bonding: I focus on positive reinforcement and patience to win over anxious or stubborn dogs. Right now, my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and availability to your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and consistent companionship throughout the day. I am highly attentive, alert, and fully aware of the immense trust and responsibility pet owners place in me. I take the well-being and security of your pets very seriously. I treat them with the same level of cautious, dedicated care that I would want for my own family.

“Maria was incredible to work with. I was nervous to leave my best friend in the care of anyone besides me but my nerves were quickly relieved. Maria took the time to have a meet and greet so he knew her beforehand and also was extremely professional, asking lots of relevant questions to make sure she knew exactly what to do. Frequent photo updates kept me from wondering about him on my vacation. 100% would recommend Maria and I will be using her again”

“Jose was a real super trooper taking care of our fur babies. The perfect combination of attention to detail and warmth toward Penny and Rocky. He really went the extra mile to take care of our place during some heavy storms. It was great to come home to a warm and inviting house. Highly recommend!”

Stephen M.

“Colleen was reliable, friendly and great with our pets!”

Dorothea B.

“I was desperate for an in home sitter and Elisa was available for all of our needs. She cared for our three dogs as if they were her own. She sent plenty of update photos and kept us informed regularly on what was going on. We will definitely have her back!”
