Cat Sitting Union Hill

“We are extremely pleased with the care that Lisa provided over several days of drop-in visits for our dogs. One of our dogs can be nervous and he took to Lisa immediately. Her regular updates were detailed and she was exceptionally observant - noticing a behavior by one of our dogs that he has consistently displayed but is not very obvious. We highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and experience caring for others. As a youth sports director and coach, I am responsible for the safety and well-being of over 100 children, which has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and attention to detail. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks, a young puppy working on routines and basic manners, or a senior pet that needs a little extra patience and care, I am committed to providing personalized attention. I am active, dependable, and highly organized, and I pride myself on keeping pet owners updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. As a coach and sports program director, I am highly organized and accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of others. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, whether that means feeding schedules, medication administration, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship and affection. I make it a priority to give every pet the attention and care they deserve and to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration (if needed), and any special preferences or routines. During visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy. I understand that pets can experience stress when their owners are away, so I focus on providing a calm, positive, and caring environment. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean and secure while I'm there. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe and well cared for. Whether it's an energetic dog that needs extra exercise, a cat that prefers quiet companionship, or a senior pet that requires a little extra patience and attention, I adapt my care to meet each pet's individual needs.

“Erika crushed it! First time having her watch our animals and she communicated perfectly. She followed instructions very well and gave our babies the best care! Our dog has some behavioral issues but she read his body language and was very successful.”

“We loved Emily, she’s very attentive and gentle with our senior dog and communicated clearly with us with great pictures. Will gladly hire again :)”

“Natalie is dependable. So reassuring to know my kitties are in good hands.”

“Taylor was able to watch our kitties on short notice. She arrived promptly everyday for drop-ins and managed to work our electronic door systems without any explanation (that's kind of rare lol). I didn't have to explain much to her. She sent us pictures, played with our cats, fed them before she left, and cleaned the litter box when necessary. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry. Thank you Taylor! We're absolutely going ask Taylor to watch our babies again 🩷”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always felt happiest when surrounded by animals! I have several years of pet-sitting experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I enjoy long walks and am happy to follow your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you're away. I work full-time for the University of Rochester and have a hybrid schedule, so I'm only in the office two days a week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). The rest of the week, I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your furry family members! On weekends, my schedule is also very flexible. I enjoy golfing, but it's easy for me to adjust my plans to accommodate each pet's unique needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know each pet and learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, training, and household rules to ensure consistency while you're away. While I love giving pets plenty of affection and attention, I also respect their boundaries and individual needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels cared for and at home.

“This was our first time having Rico come by for a drop in visit for our fur babies Bella and Mya, we received lots of pictures and an update. We will definitely book with Rico again in the future!”

“Carla was fantastic, providing loving care to our fur baby and reassuring updates to us, with many pictures. She was responsive, prompt, and respectful of our property. Would definitely use Carla again.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with a variety of pets, including goats, a horse, several dogs, and a hamster. From an early age I helped to care for them. The thing I enjoy most about animals is their unconditional love. I currently have a wonderful cat, Oscar, who I love with all my heart. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I have past experience volunteering for the SPCA of Ulster County, NY, as a dog walker. More recently, I have gained experience in caring for cats, through having cats of my own, and through volunteering. I currently volunteer with Rescued Treasures Adoptions, caring for the cats at the Pet Supplies Plus stores. I absolutely love it. As a pet sitter, I will treat your pets like my own, making sure that their needs are met, that they are happy and safe. I look forward to meeting you! I currently work full time for a school district, so would be available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I have a lot of availability on weekends and many holidays. I am available for walks, drop in care, and overnights in your home. While you are away, I will keep in communication with you, sending photos, updates, whatever is needed. I want you to know that your pets are ok and in good hands.

“Sophie was incredible with my dogs! She took the time to send a nice message, pictures, and video from her visits. My pups fell in love with her!”

About: I have owned two dogs and have lots of experience dog walking and dog sitting for dogs of all ages. I have been the sole care provider for my dog and have cared for her in all stages of life. I volunteer at Lollypop Farm as a dog worker and walk with dogs of all ages and sizes every week. I love spending time with each of the dogs and making sure they are well taken care of and feel loved. I work part time and remotely, so I have lots of flexibility and free time to spend with and care for your dog and to give them lots of attention. I can care for your dog at your home by creating a safe environment, showing your dog lots of care and love, and following specific instructions set aside for each individual pet.

About: I’m back! If you’re new here, I recently reactivated my profile. I've been the designated dog-sitter among friends and have taken care of family dogs most of my life, including two puppies. As an active person, I'm open to various energy levels. If your dog is laid back or has a little extra energy, I can spend the preferred time and attention needed. Whether it's going on a walk, run, outdoor activity, playing, bathing, or making sure the essentials are taken care of (food & water, bathroom breaks, etc.), I can step in as your dog's "temporary" best friend. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be open and available to work around a client's daily or weekly routine... and spend time with pups :) I can take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home/area or go for a quick drive to a nearby park, trail, etc.

About: Since I was a young kid I've had many pets in my life. Mainly dogs and cats, of all sizes, many large dogs though! I love going for walks or playing outside, or playing inside with smaller animals. If you need someone to watch, hang out with, walk, play with, or to let out or feed your pets I'd love to help I babysit from 11:30am to 3:30pm from Tuesday through Friday. So, if we can work around that scedule I'd be happy to help you out! I treat them with respect and love. Love to play and get to know them. Pick up after them inside and outside. And watch for signs of strange behaviors and keep them safe.

About: Hi guys! My name is Steven! I work from home with a lot of flexibility! I love dogs and have two of my own, a lab and a golden doodle! I would love to help you out with yours while your away! Take them running, play tug-O-war, basic training sit, stay, lay down, or just be a companion, whatever you would like!! I have had many dogs growing up including my current furry friends! I am very knowledgeable and comfortable around many breeds! I would be honored to be your dogs best friend as well! My schedule is designed to provide optimal care for your pets. As a full-time professional with a highly flexible work arrangement, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's a midday walk, feeding, or playtime, I can easily step away from work when needed to ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. Your furry friends will have my full focus and care, making sure they feel loved and content throughout the day. In my care, pets receive the utmost attention, mirroring the love and attention I provide to my own. They'll experience VIP treatment, including regular brushing, well-balanced meals, invigorating walks, a clean litter box, and ample playtime. As an avid runner, I'm excited to share my passion for jogging with them for some extra exercise. The safety, trust, and positive environment I create ensure your pets feel at home and cherished in my care.

“Thanks Mark for looking after my birds. Everyone is healthy and happy and I appreciate the text messages from you during your visits.”

“Carolyn accomplished everything I had wanted for my pup and left me a note :) He was happy and calm when I returned. I would have Carolyn back in a heartbeat! 5 stars.”

About: Dogs are my life, as I have three of my own. I cannot imagine my life without them. If you see me at a gathering, I’ll probably be on the floor, playing with or petting the dog. I love dogs and they really seem to like me too! I have trained all three of my dogs, so I am able to follow whatever training procedures you have in place. All of my friends and family members trust me with their fur babies because I treat them like they are my own. I am currently working part-time, so I am able to fit visits or walks in as needed. Afternoons are best, but if I am off on a weekday, or able to stop by before I head into work, I can do that too! I will do my best to follow your routine and procedures so that your pups can have a stress free experience. I am happy to play, sit with them for companionship, check on their water, feed and let out, and scoop poop.

“Sydney was a great sitter for our animals (a bunny and a cat). We just needed a couple visits while we were out of town for a day and she came and spent about an hour with them each visit. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter that loves animals and wants them to get some affection while they are away.”
