Cat Sitting in Mechanicville

“Brittany has taken care of my kitties quite a few times over the years. It is so reassuring knowing we can enjoy time away from home and they are safe & well taken care of. I love the pictures she sends and the good communication. Would highly recommend hiring her! 5 stars every time!”

About: I have been sitting for years and currently have two dogs of my own. Our older dog had ear cancer so I am familiar with how to care for sick dogs and how to give medicine and the treatments of such nature. I currently work during the work week so I am free most nights during the week do stop ins and then have much more open availability on the weekends! I am very attentive to the needs set out by the parents and make sure I am following instructions! I love taking the pets and walks as it’s good for both me and them! I would love to play and also can be down for a good cuddle as well.

“Danielle did an amazing job! Each day she showed up in time and sent us Ellie’s report and photos. It made us feel so good knowing that our pup was in such capable hands! We could not be more pleased! And grateful! Highly recommend!!”

“Donna is great. She has sat for my kitties several times now and every time she sends me plenty of updates along with details about her visit with photos. This time she administered antibiotics to my cat as well. I would definitely recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and have experience with puppies as young as 3 weeks old as well as senior dogs up to 14 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning basic commands, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have experience with basic training and enjoy helping reinforce good habits and routines in a positive way. Every dog has their own personality, so I like to take the time to get to know what makes them feel coming. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving pet parents peace of mind. At the end of the day, our pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of mine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, having pets myself, and I make it a priority to be dependable and punctual. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, play sessions, or drop in visits. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making pet care something I genuinely look forward to each day. Safety is a top priority for me, especially during walks. I take the time to properly understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level before heading out, and I stay attentive to their surroundings at all times to ensure they are secure and well managed. I like to follow key safety precautions like using properly fitted leashes and harnesses, avoiding high-traffic or overstimulating areas when needed, checking gates and doors carefully, and always keeping a secure hold on pets when entering or exiting spaces. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, using calm and consistent body language, and allowing them to become comfortable with me before expecting too much interaction. I pay attention to their signals and respect their boundaries, which helps create a sense of safety and reliability. Over time, this helps pets feel more at ease with me, making walks and in home care smoother and more comfortable for them.

“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of Huxley! She arrived on time, followed all directions perfectly, and was reliable and communicative throughout. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable. With experience in walks, feeding routines, medication support, and giving plenty of affection, I make sure every pet feels at home while you’re away. I am currently home from college so I’m pretty much free all week days! But I will do my best to always be there for your pet! I have four dogs at home and very confident that I will be able to take care of yours. My animals are very loved and social because of our loving atmosphere.

“Net is awesome! She came to the house a few times, to meet Lucy, before our trip so Lucy was comfortable with her. She visited Lucy 4 times per day starting very early and a bedtime visit around 8:00pm. Polite, dependable, caring, professional and dedicated are a few words to describe Net. We will definitely have her take care of Lucy again and I encourage you to have her care for your pet as well! Six out of 5 stars!!”

“Meg was awesome with Remi !!! She took great care of her; Remi was happy. Meg was also very accommodating to our busy schedule. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

Daniel C.

“Very friendly and great with our kitties! Let me know when she was heading over a followed up with several pictures, as well as what she did. Would hire again!!”

About: Hi, I am a mature and experienced pet owner. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and loved my own dogs (Rottweiler, Boxers, Jack Russell and Frenchton) while raising my children. I am unfortunately not able to have my own pets due to where I live. I have traveled for work, sporting events and vacations and know the stress of finding care for my pets where they will feel loved and be well taken care of. I want to offer peace of mind to others when they cannot take their furry family members with them when traveling. I am a self-employed photographer so I will be able to treat you pet like my own. I will be there in the morning, evening and throughout the day. I can bring my work supplies to you home to work so the only time I will be away for work is for a shoot. I know my appointments in advance and will be able to share the schedule with you to ensure it meets your needs. I am unable to care for pets in my home. When caring for your pet in your home I will follow the instructions you provide. I enjoy playing and hanging out with cats and dogs but also know not all cats and dogs are the same. Through conversation with you I will learn how best to interact with your pet to ensure there is a great experience for all. As a photographer I unfortunately do not have pictures of myself with my pets as I am always on the other side of the camera.

“Arielle was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and was able to help us out in a pinch! She took great care of our dogs and came by each day at the time requested. We felt our dogs were in good care with Arielle. I would highly recommend her services! We will definitely be using her again!”

Amber A.

“She was great! She went above and beyond! Really helped us out. We highly recommend her and we would use her again.”

“Rachelle has been fantastic for our entire family! She responds quickly and is always prompt for our pups. I feel so grateful for all that she does for them while we are away. Pictures & videos are so much fun!!”

Denise & Greg G.

“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)”

“Thomas was amazing with the dogs. Tank and Lucas were well taken care of. The dogs love him. He sent plenty of updates and pictures. Highly recommend.”
