Pet Sitting Cottekill

“I am so grateful to have found a dependable sitter that my boy Spud loves! She is professional, flexible to our routine, and I know they have fun together. I enjoyed all of the updates and pics/videos she sent while I was away missing him. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Katherine graciously agreed to stop in on our cats over the holidays and was amazing! Super prompt and gave nice updates. Our kitties seemed super happy and content when we got home. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again.”

“Paige was great! She was super communicative and accommodating, and very dependable, even in a winter storm. We knew our kitties and aquariums were well taken care of. We’ll be looking to rebook with Paige for sure! Thank you, Paige! 🧡”

“David was wonderful. He went well out of his way to set up a time to meet my dog. He was very flexible, friendly, and reliable. I will be contacting him again without a doubt if needed in the future!”

“Lexi was fabulous, Walter and Bageera were both very well taken care of and we were kept up to date the whole time. We missed our kids (pets) very much while we were gone but very confident that we left them in good hands with Lexi. NO WORRIES 😉 👍🏼”

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.

“Jamie is very detail oriented and listens to instructions very well. You can tell they love animals so much and they took such great care of our pets. They also checked in with us often and communicated well. We would definitely recommend Jamie and would 10/10 book again :-)”

“We had a meet and greet with my nervous pup and Paige was great - knew how to handle an anxious dog and helped create a low stress introduction. My dog and I look forward to working more with Paige!”

Mayme S.

“Hila is very responsive, punctual and friendly. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. He seemed well cared for. We’ll use her again!”

Samantha W.

“My dog immediately bonded to Rose as soon as she walked into the house. She has an incredible way with dogs, and a deep knowledge of their behavior and needs. She is a true dog lover! I feel grateful that we found her, as it is such a relief to know there is someone who can take great care of our canine family member when we cannot be around.”

Margaret S.

“Incredible rovers and people! Amanda and her husband went above and beyond with our puppy Rory. Couldn't have asked for a better duo to take care of her - meeting her beforehand, giving her love and attention, endless photos, cuddles and happiness. Ten out of ten recommendation for anyone in the Woodstock / Kingston area.”

About: My care for animals is rooted in my nature. I have spent 28 years loving and caring for dogs, cats, and livestock like sheep and goats. I currently volunteer at the Ulster County SPCA weekly doing dog and cat socialization. I bring genuine passion, care, and patience to each pet that is in my care. I am available for pet visits and walks from 6am to 11am and 8:30pm to 10:30pm during the week. My availability on the weekends is much more flexible. Let’s chat and come up with a plan. With over two decades of animal experience, I know that trust is earned, not assumed. I take time to read each pet’s cues, honor their boundaries, and follow your established routines. Your home environment stays calm and consistent, your dog’s walk stays safe and controlled, and your cat always has the space they need to feel secure.

About: I am currently a vet-tech student. I am fear-free certified. I know the scramble for pet care and how scary it can be to trust someone new with your pets. I hope to ease those fears and you can know your pet is getting the care they need. I am currently a student so my schedule varies, and I am looking for a part time job to fill in some gaps. This would also provide me the flexibility ot take on pet-care when my schedule allows so that the care level is never compromised. I will adhere to any rules or weird quirks your pet may have developed. For example growing up our dog would only eat if you made him think it was cooked the same way human food was cooked. We had to do a whole thing on the stove to seem like we were stirring it to fully cooked. I will always be mindful of any openings in yards and be sure they're closed off or that the pet is leashed properly before any door is opened.

“Alexander is incredibly reliable, kind and helpful in taking care of Skipper. He goes above and beyond in making sure that our older dog is consistently given walks, meals and even an insulin shot”

About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I actually just graduated from university, but I can be flexible with my schedule depending on what you and your doggie needs. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single on campus, with a decently sized room for any small or medium sized doggies, and there is a fenced in track behind my building/apartment if they wanna just run around with me for a while.

“We cannot recommend Angelica enough. She went above and beyond in every way and made us feel so confident that our three cats had the best care while we were away. Angelica is lovely, patient, thoughtful and knowledgeable. She kept our home clean, played with each of the cats, made sure they ate, cleaned the litter boxes and eliminated the stress that comes with traveling when you leave pets behind at home. We feel so lucky to have found her.”

“Bridget went above and beyond to take care of our cat while we were away on a trip. Communication with Bridget was great and we were able to trust that our cat was in great hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have had animals in my life my entire life. Dogs, horses and cats mainly. I also have experience taking care of older animals. I have fostered animals as well. I work and live full time locally in the Hudson Valley. I have breaks where I can provide extra care and attention depending on different schedules and needs. The yard is partially fenced. There are ample options of dog beds throughout the house. I also can crate your pet if needed and appropriate.
