“Grettel was reliable and communicative! And most importantly, my dog, who can be a little nervous around new people, took to Grettel right away and was super comfortable. Would highly recommend Grettel for caring for your animals.”
“Jen took great care of our old boy cat while we were out of town. She was communicative every step of the way and sent plenty of pictures, which we loved. We could tell that our cat was in great hands, and felt content and safe with Jen. We’re so grateful for her time!”
“Katherine was great! Grey and Bunny seemed to really like her, she was very communicative and sent pictures! Will definitely have her watch the critters again in the future!”
“Vicki was so wonderful looking after my cat Stella. She was great with communication and providing daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend Vicki, and Stella loved her!”
About: My care for animals is rooted in my nature. I have spent 28 years loving and caring for dogs, cats, and livestock like sheep and goats. I currently volunteer at the Ulster County SPCA weekly doing dog and cat socialization. I bring genuine passion, care, and patience to each pet that is in my care. I am available for pet visits and walks from 6am to 11am and 8:30pm to 10:30pm during the week. My availability on the weekends is much more flexible. Let’s chat and come up with a plan. With over two decades of animal experience, I know that trust is earned, not assumed. I take time to read each pet’s cues, honor their boundaries, and follow your established routines. Your home environment stays calm and consistent, your dog’s walk stays safe and controlled, and your cat always has the space they need to feel secure.
“We were very pleased with Rose's care for Nina. She was diligent in providing information and pics on Nina. We will definitely use her services again and will recommend to others. Thank you.”
“Amelia was warm and kind and listened to all the directions I gave her (helicopter cat-mom here). She sent lots of pictures and updates about how everyone was doing after every visit. Just the best!”
“Alexander is incredibly reliable, kind and helpful in taking care of Skipper. He goes above and beyond in making sure that our older dog is consistently given walks, meals and even an insulin shot”
“Our first few visits with Katherine went great! My typically very shy senior boy was immediately very comfortable with her which was such a nice surprise. We will definitely continue to book with Katherine :)”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Paige did a great job taking care of out cats and chickens. Our cats are very shy and always hide from strangers. Paige managed to capture pictures of them despite how good our cats are at hiding. We will certainly use her again, next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Rebecca has been incredible with our puppy while we are at work. She sends updates and pictures, plus she’s helped reinforce the tricks we have been teaching her. Couldn’t be happier with her!”
“Such a late request to have my pup be watched, but Monica was ready and willing!! He was well taken care of and the photos prove it. Happy he was able to get some frisbee time :)”
