Cat Sitting in Saranac Lake

About: Hi! We’re Rachael (🇺🇸) and Alex (🇬🇧), two animal lovers who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them as our own while they’re under our care. Expect lots of pics and vids while you’re away. 🥰 We have experience with all sizes of dogs as well as seniors. We’re friendly, responsible, and responsive, and we look forward to meeting, walking, and hosting your pets 🐕🐈 We work part-time from home and have full flexibility in our daily and weekly schedules. With home-stays, we build our days around walks and shorter trips outside. Ultimately, we’ll flex to your pet’s unique needs — if they need lots of love, want some space or alone time, or have a special quirk (faucet drinking, mealtime rituals), we’re on it. We always default to a pet parents’ instructions for their pet and home care, and we read body language carefully 🩵

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life—dogs who are small, timid, and nervous as well as big, goofy and playful. We can make sure it’s a good fit with a meet and greet to make sure everyone’s comfortable before moving forward. I work 3 days a week as a nurse and usually know my work schedule a month in advance. I am hoping to do a couple of dog walks, check ins and house sitting days so that you can take a trip, work or be *kid free 🐶* for a night or two. Let me know how I can help! The more I can learn from you about your pets’ likes and dislikes; the better I can provide for you and your pet. I am confident that I can make your pet feel comfortable and right at home.

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. Saying goodbye when you go to work or go out of town doesn’t have to be so tough once you get to know me. I absolutely love dog’s and gaurentee that I will provide your pup with whatever he/she needs to be happy and feel at home. If it’s just a walk I still make sure your dog is satisfied and happy anyway that I can. I have tons of experience and love my job. I also enjoy going on hiking adventures so let’s get creative and make a plan that exactly fits your dogs needs! I understand that some dogs require more than others. I can’t wait to meet your dog! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m a local fishing guide in the area. I will always make your pet my #1 priority. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs can enjoy anytime they’d like. I do allow dogs on the furniture as they please unless advised otherwise. I try to have a good sense of how your pet is feeling throughout the day and do my best to make them happy as can be.

“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: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. I love all types of critters and I've never met an animal I didn't like! From creepy crawlies to furry friends, I'm here for any and every animal that comes my way! I am an experienced sitter and have been watching, walking, and caring for pets of friends, family, and clients for well over a decade. Additionally, I have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines very quickly. While I hold a full time day job I am looking to fill some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species so if you're in my area I'd love to meet you and your pets! I work full time with a varying schedule between 5:30am and 5:30 pm. I will often available for walks and check ins during evening hours with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. I am a cleanly person who will leave your home the way you left it and your pets safe while I am there! I am confident I can provide a trustworthy experience for you.

About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 17. I have had lots of experience walking active larger breeds and taking care of puppies, kittens and cats. When I’m not hanging out with animals, I stay active and creative. Over the years I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, full time nanny, swim coach/ instructor and security guard in New York as well as Northern California. I believe that understanding animals vocal and physical actions through sincere intuitive observation, is the most important quality to have when taking care of a pet and their needs. Safety, trust & environment; There are many safe trails throughout the Adirondacks that I’m comfortable walking dogs on and I always bring water to share with a on the go water bowl! When traveling with animals I always put on a gentle playlist I made for my own pets to ensure they don’t get any anxiety from the sounds of being on the road. I have a great amount of experience with bathing/ washing dogs and cats for either sensitive issues or just a routine bath for a muddy pup. I have lots of experience with handling and providing medication to animals, as well as bottle feeding with a gentle approach.

About: I have had a dog and several cats growing up and taken care of pets for friends and family. I currently live with a my girlfriend her Bernese Mountain Dog. I currently work a 9-5 job so am open to morning and afternoon walks. I am also generally flexible on weekends if planned in advance. My girlfriend has a 130 pound Bernese Mountain Dog which can be a handful. I have learned how to navigate new spaces deescalate situations with him. My strategy is mitigating the possibility for anything to go wrong and being prepared if it does.

About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.
