Personalized care for your dog or cat - Saranac Lake

“James & Trinity were wonderful! Tupper had so much fun with the other dogs & cats. They sent me photos & messages while I was away & kept me informed how Tupper was doing. I would strongly recommend them - they’re caring, compassionate & adoring to my favorite dog, Tupper!”

“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a life-long animal lover and pet owner. As you might have noticed from my photos 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. I am a responsible & professional adult with many positive reviews so you can rest assured your baby will be in capable hands. I am very familiar with Rover and have a lot of experience meeting new families and learning new routines quickly. I treat all pets I care for like my own and will be more than happy to let them share my personal space while they wait for you to come home! I also love to take photos of animals so your pet will be my model on our walks. :) While I hold a full time day job as an Outdoor Educator for a local nonprofit, I am looking to supplement my income by filling some of my extra time caring for the pets in my community. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes, breeds, and species and love meeting new people. I am happy to work with locals and visitors alike and can meet folks wherever works best for you & your pet whether that be your home, local parks/hiking trails, rentals, or restaurants. So if you're in the Tri-Lake area I'd love to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions - thank you for checking out my profile and considering me for your pet sitting needs! 🐸 I work full time for a nonprofit in the High Peaks with a varying schedule between 5am and 7 pm Wednesday - Sunday. I will often available for walks and drop ins visits during evening hours (mostly between 4pm and 11pm) with some daytime & morning availability depending on my schedule that week. For overnight sitting I am available for 2 days a week maximum on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I have some flexibility so if you think we would be a good fit go ahead and send me a message and we might be able to work something out. Providing a trustworthy & relaxed experience is very important to me. As a pet parent myself I know how hard it is to leave your baby in the care of a stranger so I want to make sure I do what I can to ease any anxieties and make this a chill process you and your pet. To make sure this goal is met I ask for open communication about pet behaviors and clear expectations about the care I will provide. I have a lot of experience working and staying in other people's homes and know how to respect your space like it is my own. If any pet accidents occur under my watch I will not hesitate to clean them up in a timely manner and I always make sure I leave a home exactly as I found it. To keep your pets & belongings safe I always double check locks and make sure I have eyes on your pet before I leave. I have experience with escape artist pups & cats so I am good about making sure I open and close with care. I am serious about keeping your pets safe and providing a professional experience whether I am staying over night or just stopping. As mentioned in my bio I have over a decade of professional experience working with families to provide in home pet and child care so you can trust that your pet and house are in safe hands.

About: Having grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, I’m an animal lover who will go above and beyond for your pets 🐾 I frequently look after friends’ and neighbors’ critters and treat them as my own when they’re under my care (I also love sending pics and vids to keep their parents updated 🥰). From shy to sweet to spicy, we love all cats and can flex to meet their unique needs (a drink from the faucet, a little extra space, some playtime with a spring toy).

“Caitlin did a perfect job, my cat loved her company and was totally relaxed and happy by the time I got back. Mitten and I are looking forward to reaching out again in the future.”

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”

“Wonderful hosts to our dog, he was able to swim and play and sleep in a cool environment. Received pictures throughout the stay that kept our mind at ease.”

Kristine K.

“Trinity is absolutely amazing (I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting James yet, but I’m sure he’s wonderful too). Trinity is super responsive and caring. She was willing to take on our fur baby immediately. We are looking forward to upcoming dates with her!”

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. 🥰 ⚠️ Please note: We are currently living with family, including a 6-year-old mixed breed dog who is mostly friendly/quite indifferent with other dogs and a very independent calico cat who spends most of her time outside. If interested in Doggy Day Care, we don’t expect they would cause any issues with most other *friendly* pets. See their profiles for more info! 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.
