Cat Sitting in The Vly

“Grettel was fantastic with our shy kitties. She slowly introduced herself to them and was eventually able to gain their trust. We loved getting all the updates from her and pics of them while we were away. She’s amazing and we’d highly recommend her to other pet parents!”

“Elizabeth is a perfect communicator and made me feel my cat was in great hands the week I was away. I could tell from her reports that she really understood and appreciated my cat, and that they had a really nice time together. I give Elizabeth my highest recommendation, and will definitely be reaching back out to her when I'm next out of town!”

“Lexi was fabulous, Walter and Bageera were both very well taken care of and we were kept up to date the whole time. We missed our kids (pets) very much while we were gone but very confident that we left them in good hands with Lexi. NO WORRIES 😉 👍🏼”

“Jules was wonderful with my dogs! She was reliable, caring, and made sure they were well taken care of during each drop-in visit. I felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”

“Linda was such a wonderful sitter for my little Lulu. Usually Lu is a bit crazy after I come back from a trip and she was calm as can be. I attribute that Linda’s warm presence as much as her care.”

About: I grew up in a home that always had multiple animals. Whether it was cats, dogs, fish, snakes and plenty more I was always taking care of different animals. Now as I’ve grown older the love for animals has not stopped. Dogs are really the best companions and can understand you more than some humans. The love I have for animals is truly the same love I have for family members. I’ll always make sure they are being well taken care of, fed, running freely or on walks, playing and always loved! Your dog will be treated like my own! My work schedule varies quite a bit, I may need to go into work sometimes & in that case my mother is typically home anyway. Otherwise I am home I have a fenced in area for the doggies to run freely. I have a dog of my own so I know what a dog needs and the love and attention they deserve! They can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable with at my home.

“Paige was a great and communicative sitter! I had to go out of town last minute for work and she was super quick to help out. Highly recommend and will be using her again!”

Mackenzie C.

“Alexa was wonderful with our cat and angora rabbits. She was very responsive and kept us up to date each day while we were away, which was very appreciated. I will definitely book with her again in the future”

Laura G.

“Jamie was so wonderful with my quirky senior cat Xochi. Thoughtful, attentive and communicative - bonus was their adorable photos with each visit!”

Sarah B.

“Kimberly was so sweet and attentive to my old super senior kitty who’s been having health issues. She has a sweet momma like energy and was able to successfully give him his meds which he can be difficult about taking. I felt so safe knowing he was under her thoughtful care. Thank you so much for watching over Luke while i was away!”

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.

About: Hi there! I am a house/pet sitter with extensive experience caring for peoples pets and homes across the US. I treat your fur babies with love, care, and detailed attention. Whether your pet loves hours of play and long walks or needs some extra cuddles to soothe their anxiety while you're away, I meet every pet where they're at and make sure to put home & pet owners at ease while they're away. I have experience with drop in pet care (walks, feeding, meds, trips to the dog park, etc.) as well as long term house and pet sitting jobs. I've worked with dogs of every size and age. I also have experience with farm animals (not horses), cats, birds, and small pets. Basically, I do it all! Reach out and let me know what your needs are. I am a part-time web designer who works from home, so I am available for overnight sitting, part-time care and drop-in care! I run a pet sitting company off of Rover called Upstate Safe & Snug. I do not care for pets in my own home at this time. I am respectful, clean, and follow directions when I am working in other folks' homes. I've never had an issue.

“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our animals. We are so thankful for her help. She was very good at communicating with us while we were away so we knew everything was well at home.”

Elizabeth M.

About: I have done lots of pet sitting in my lifetime. I have mostly worked with cats and dogs but I also have taken care of rabbits, Guinea pigs, and even alpacas! I love all animals and would love to help out in any way I can! I do also have a small Boston terrier who is special needs. She is extremely loving and friendly. I am currently free 24/7 365 days! I am available for any and all pet needs! I am able to provide walks and stay at any home needed! I have a nice single bedroom apartment! The rail trail is close to me so I can walk them along that for nice outside exercise. There is lots of love to be shared!

“We simply could not have asked for better and we are so thrilled and relieved that we have found such great care for our 2 cats and one dog. We have a stretch booked with Paula for September and it gives us such peace of mind to know they will be so well cared for. Thank you Paula!”

“My dogs were super happy when I returned home after John checked on and pottied them. John communicated well and was very kind and considerate.”

“Communication with Aimee was good, she kept me updated, asked questions when necessary, dealt with a snowstorm, took care of the kitties, and made getting out of town easy. We would have her again.”

About: I grew up with dogs, have one now, and am all around a big animal lover. I’m available to care for pets of any age - just let me know what you need! I work remotely from home full time for a tech company and have a lot of flexibility in making my own schedule so I can fit pet care in pretty much whenever needed. I live with one cat and one small dog. I have a fenced in back patio for outside time and access to an expansive green space behind the house for walks and leashed outside time. For drop in visits, just let me know what you need and I’m happy to help!

“Kacey is the best! We can't recommend her highly enough. She's super communicative, wonderful with animals, creative in her approach to problem solving, and takes incredible photos to boot.”

Joshua & Carter L.

“Meg was so great with my animals. They immediately embraced her as she greeted them with such kindness.”
