Cat Sitting in Hurley

“Vicki is excellent - thorough, communicative and so caring. I have a very sweet cat that is very skittish and so mostly hid but in knowing this, Vicki was ready to coax her to play or leave her be if that seemed in order. This was my first time being away for more than a couple days and it was such a boon to find Vicki and a relief knowing my cat was so well looked after.”

“Alexandra truly went above and beyond for our first sit. Attentive, thoughtful, and prompt. Kida was her normal, happy self when I arrived back from a 5 day trip - all down to Alexandra’s amazing care!”

“Melissa went above and beyond in caring for our cat. She took plenty of pictures and gave us detailed reports about his activities and general disposition (and she won him over, when he’s been known to hiss at other sitters!). We told her his litter box could probably wait to be scooped until we returned, but she diligently checked it to make sure he was using it every day, and she cleaned it in the process. We just felt like we were in the best possible hands, and it was such peace of mind while we were away. What a kind, responsible, and trustworthy person. The Mary Poppins of the animal kingdom!”

“Grettel was fantastic. She was super easy to work with, conscientious, sweet with my Kitty, and a great communicator. I highly recommend Grettel.”

“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: Dogs have always been cherished members of my family for my whole life. I grew up caring for our family pups (Sammy, River, Indy, Sirius, and the newest addition, Loki!) from their puppyhood through their senior golden years. When I was 12, I began caring for the dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes (I grew up with border collie/lab mixes, a great dane/pit/lab mix, and an aussie shepherd), and have extensive experience caring for more than one dog (or cat!) at a time. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats across the Hudson Valley and NYC. Since I have no pets of my own because of my apartment size, I will treat yours as if they were my own and they will get all the care and attention they need while you are away. I also offer pet portraits and would be happy to talk with you about that further if you're interested. Every moment I get to spend with an animal is so special to me and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to share that love with you and your pup. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to discuss it all with you! I am currently working as a freelance artist/photographer. I make my own schedule and so I am flexible to meet you and your pup’s needs. I am committed to creating an environment in your home that is safe, secure, and fun for your pup all day long! I am detail-oriented so I keep the place tidy and comfortable. Because every dog is different and you know your dog best, I follow your instructions carefully and guarantee open, prompt communication with you. I am very comfortable crating your dog if you need and happy caring for more than one. I know it can be hard to leave your pet in the care of someone else (Ive been there!) and so Im committed to making sure you feel comfortable and confident by building trust between you, your pup, and me…we got this!

“Being new to the area I was concerned about finding a sitter for my 2 senior cats. Alexa was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. Updates daily. Very kind! She is now my go to person for pet care.”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”

Marie F.

“Monica was an excellent cat sitter! She was very communicative, thorough and great at her job. I was nervous about leaving our new kitten so soon after adopting her, but I had these plans in the calendar for a while. Monica went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I was very happy. Will definitely be booking Monica again in the future.”

“Katherine took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I was able to rest easy knowing Katherine would be there to check on her each morning. She was very communicative and professional, and I would definitely book again.”

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.

“Linda was such a wonderful sitter for my little Lulu. Usually Lu is a bit crazy after I come back from a trip and she was calm as can be. I attribute that Linda’s warm presence as much as her care.”

Brittany D.

“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.”

J K.

“I know my kitties are always in good hands with Jen. They warm right up to her, and Jen is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. I would give more stars if I could!”

Clare M.

“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.”

Emily S.

“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!”

Kerri R.

“Laianna is truly such a find! She is professional, patient, kind and very thorough! I COULD NOT RECOMMEND HER MORE! Our dog can be scared of new people, but Laianna took her time, and they became fast friends!”

About: I have trained two puppies, and taken care of a senior dog who sadly recently passed. I understand the patience required for both ends of the spectrum. Currently my puppy is just 9 months old, and very sweet with all other pets. I can help with socialisation, or just general care and walking, whatever you need! I am a graduate student in a very flexible program, just working a few hours a week at Bard College, the rest of the time at home. I have access to a yard, and my friendly puppy to play with. I am happy to follow feeding schedules, and can maintain training routines. I have a crate if your dog needs their safe space.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. People rely on me to take care of their dogs like feed them and bathe them and play with them and walk them and make sure they’re well loved It will only be me working with the dogs, I don’t need any other assistance with other people. I do work a full-time job, but I have flexible time before or after work so I’ll be able to take care of your dogs or cats. The best days are Monday through Saturday, Monday - Wednesday would be in the morning and Thursday - Saturday would be in the afternoon/evening. We have a fenced in yard at our house and we like to play fetch with our dogs, especially in the nice weather. They even love the snow. We do crate train our one dog so if your dogs need to be crated, I am able to do so. Our dogs are on the schedule for their food so if your dogs are too, I understand and can follow that schedule. And we give them lots of love so your dog(s) will be loved too.

“Karla is great! Communicative and reliable and so good with our cat Oscar, and on Xmas! Thank you Karla”
