“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!”

Lindsey was excellent! She provided great communication leading up to the sitting. Samson was so comfortable with Lindsey, and I loved receiving the text and pictures to let me know how settled & calm Samson was in her company. Samson loved his time with Lindsey and we are looking forward to booking with her again on our next visit!
We scheduled a trip to Lake Placid and needed a sitter for our cabin. Caitlin was AMAZING! Quick to respond to questions , personable , professional, and reliable. We had a brief meet and greet to get comfortable . Caitlin was prompt to arrive, sent photos and updates, and was gracious when our plans delayed our return . She was even able to get our shy little dog to respond to her . In addition , she was a fantastic guide to hiking and restaurants in the area
