Cat Sitting in Lake Placid

About: Have owned pets my whole life, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and birds. I understand and respect that your pet is your family and you want them loved and cared for you when can't be there. I work full time with regular office hours 8-5. I can be flexible but these hours are my priority so may not be able to make everything work, but will do my best. I will follow whatever guidelines you set for your pet and will make sure they feel just as safe and comfortable in my care as they do your own.

“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Mark did an excellent job taking care of our animals. He paid a lot of attention to detail, was very reliable, and sent lots of photos. He also was ultra flexible when our flight was canceled and we needed 3 extra days of care while we were trying to get back home. Grateful for his help!”

“We owe Mackenzie a lot of thanks for taking such good care of our dog while we were skiing. She was super professional and communicative. Also, she was always on time when picking up and dropping off our dog. It made our ski trip so convenient because we didn’t have to worry about our dog feeling lonely in the hotel. What’s more, Mackenzie took our dog for two 6-miles hikes which our dog enjoyed. Overall, we’re very impressed with Mackenzie’s care of our dog and we are super grateful for her help. We strongly recommend her!”

About: Have had pets since I was a child, over 20 years. I am a current pet and livestock owner. I have dogs, goats, bunnies and chickens. I am available most week days and every other weekend. I can be flexible, but it would have to work around my full time job. I am willing to drop in and walk your dog for as long as you'd like. Will play catch, ball and run them when possible.

“Caitlin is a trustworthy, responsible, and animal loving person. I never have to worry when Gracie is in her care. She gets plenty of playtime, is walked, and most of all loved liked she is her own. I will not hesitate to use Caitlin again and again. You can’t go wrong - give her a try!”

“Alli is wonderful! She is so easy to work with and takes the greatest care of our little one while we're away. I have a hamster that doesn't need much attention, but she stays to play and shower her with extra love while we're gone. I highly recommend Alli to care for any furry friend!!”

“Hailey is amazing! She took great care of my two little guys. She was always very communicative and the dogs were super happy she came to give them a walk. I highly recommend!”

“Casey is very attentive and loving to all of her pets and all animals she meets. She is very active and involved with dogs. I would trust Casey to house and dog sit for me for any period of time, knowing I will come back to things better than I left them.”

“Karen was fantastic! My pup was quite the handful (first time) & she was so patient & knowledgeable & really went the extra mile above & beyond. Highly recommend!”

About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I currently have one 15 year old cat, a 12 year old Labrador, and a 10 year old Shih-Tzo. For many years my spouse and I fostered or adopted senior dogs who may not have had a chance to be adopted. I have open availability on weekends, however on weekdays I am available early mornings, evenings and overnights. I’m not available during the daytime on weekdays. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.

“Emily has been adopted by our two cats and is now officially part of the family. She kept us in touch with our furballs via photos, videos and FaceTime and so much more. Our cats can be nervous around strangers but they loved her as though they had known her for years. We would recommend Emily to anybody- the best.”

“Michaela was great!! My family took a last minute day trip and she had no problem being quick to respond YES to the booking. Great communication and she followed all the directions! My dog Archie seemed to enjoy her company and she took great pics of him. Thank you for taking care of my second child and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to take care of their dogs. I will be using her again in the future A+++”

“Very dependable.”

About: I have had dogs all of my life! I volunteered at the humane society as a foster care provider and found homes for many dogs during this time. I worked with a veterinarian for the past ten years and provided care for his dogs. I am very active and can also run with your dog if you have a high energy breed such as a husky. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own and can also groom, massage, administer medications, recommend holistic nutritional changes, and provide any additional services that your furry companion may need. I can bring your pup to obedience classes, vet visits, or grooming appointments! I will also work with dogs that have issues such as socialization issues, manner problems, or anything else we may discuss. I currently work from home, so I am able to watch the furry friends all day. They can have a private space in the home, in the yard, or join the pack. I can customize preferences to include a hike, trail run, short walks, pick-up/drop off at your pets location, light grooming, etc. In my home I have three dogs, and they can be separate or play together if preferred. i have a large fenced yard. There is also a separate studio with a kennel if needed. If visiting a clients home, I will adjust to clients preferences and instructions.

“Amy is awesome, took such good care of our 2 dogs!”
