“The care and detailed information about how our cat was doing. Jamie takes the time and care to get to know our cat making her more comfortable while away. Thank you!”



“Jennifer took great care of our cat, Lucy. It was winter, and so there were some challenges. But Jennifer did everything just as we had asked, and was very communicative. We appreciated knowing that everything was okay.”


“It’s my first time using River and I was very pleased with Bridget’s services. Not only did she take good care of Taffy during the drop-in visits, she also made sure to take care of any additional request I had. Bridget also provided with some advice on how to navigate problems Taffy was having. 10/10 Would recommend!”


“Julie was great with my 2 kitties for 2 days! Updates and pictures were a nice addition. My one girl who hides around new people even came out during the visits🥰”


“Another great experience with Meghanne! This time my kitties got some drop ins; it was so nice to get the check in reports and the assurance that my furballs were doing alright throughout the week. Thank you so much!”


“Margaret is very reliable. She showed up every day like clockwork, fed my cat, gave her her medication, and played with her. She also sent me plenty of pictures for peace of mind. I'm very relieved that I found such a reliable sitter, and would definitely use her again in the future.”


“Adriana took wonderful care of our cat. We came home to a happy kitty. She was also very communicative and took great pics! Thank you, Adriana!”


“Alison and Robert were amazing! They accommodated my request for a hybrid housesitting/drop-in situation so well, and I'm so grateful for the care put in for looking after my cat. Alison sent me multiple pictures a day, followed my cat's multiple-step feeding guide, and even started teaching her how to shake. Ripley was in such good hands while I was gone and I'm already planning to rebook them for another trip I have coming up. I really recommend them!”



“Fran is super nice and gracious. My wife and I had to leave for two nights and couldn’t bring along our beloved little cat. We were worried about leaving the little thing alone by herself after being with her nonstop for a long time during the pandemic. We decided to go with Fran after reading the positive reviews about her and meeting her. Fran was always prompt with responding to messages. She was also super loving to Slatie (our cat) during the meet and greet. While we were away, she would always send pictures and other updates at precisely the appointed time. In the past when we’ve had cat-sitters, we’ve sometimes been worried about whether the cat-sitter would remember to make the trip. But with Fran, she gives you a precise time and she’s there at that time. Looking at some of the pictures, she even made friends with Slatie :) I would highly recommend Fran!”


“Chelsea has been very helpful with both our dogs and cats in our times of need. She has always been respectful of our space, I wouldn't know she stopped in if it weren't for messages and photos. It is clear that she loves animals and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help out with their dogs and/or cats!”


“She takes such good care of my cats and they love her! I can relax while on vacay knowing she’s taking good care of them! I’ve hired her twice and will always look to have her take care of my babies when I’m away! She’s the best!”


“Chloe is a senior cat and very quiet and shy, but she definitely liked Amber and felt safe and secure with her. I got pictures every day and Chloe got her medicine daily in her food. I would recommend Amber for pet care!”


“Great with communication and making sure our cats got love and attention while we were away! Sara was great with updating us on each visit and even brought over toys for our cats to play with. Thanks again!!”


“I was on a 2-week vacation and Haylee did a wonderful job with my cat, Brutus. He is very old but very sweet and leaving him for 2 weeks was difficult, but I was at ease knowing Haylee was going there daily. I would recommend her to watch your beloved pets!!! Ann Zupan”


“It was wonderful going on vacation for 2 weeks and knowing our cat was in good hands with Rachel. She was very thorough from the start requesting a meet and greet and detailed care instructions. While we were away Rachel provided daily updates including photos. Our cat is somewhat shy yet she allowed Rachel to approach and pet her. We will definitely book with Rachel again.”


About: I've been around animals my whole life and can't imagine it any other way! I've always had cats and dogs and care for them with so much love. I grew up with corgis and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Right now, I have two cats, a long-haired dachshund, and a Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix who keep life interesting! I've also cared for guinea pigs, a mouse, a bearded dragon, macaws, and lived with a pet snake growing up. Whether it's a kitten or a senior pup, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the same love and comfort they give us. I would love to be a friendly face your pet can feel safe with while you're away! I currently have open availability and a very flexible schedule. I'm seeking full-time work, so right now I'm available any day of the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet's safety is my top priority, in-home or out on a walk! I will follow any care instructions you provide and keep you updated as often as you'd like so you always feel confident they're in good hands.

About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

“Rowan did a great job of taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She sent us a report and photos during each visit, which helped to ease our minds while we were away. Rowan followed our instructions for feeding the dogs and taking care of our house. Everything was in good condition when we arrive d home. We will definitely use Rowan again.”


About: I have been pet sitting for many years for both long and short periods of time. I love caring for animals, and I also have a dog of my own!! I am available to pet-sit at all times; my schedule is very flexible! My routine for my own pets requires me to be up very early, so I am around early mornings all the way through the late evening. I listen very carefully to instructions when watching someone’s pet, and make sure to give them lots of care and love when I am with them!!

“Amber is great! She's very responsible and communicative, understands cats from being a cat owner herself, and is very caring and loving with them. I would highly recommend her services.”
