Cat Sitting Valley Cottage

“Jenna was so amazing. She was attentive and loving to our cats when we were gone. She went above and beyond to fix things in the house that they knocked over in their kitty craziness too. Will 1000% book Jenna again!”

“Molly was great with my cat who she boarded for close to two weeks. She sent me regular updates and videos of him. It was also an added bonus that she had her own cats which was delightful company for him.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. I am starting my journey to become a trainer. I would love the opportunity to care for your amazing best friend(s). Dogs are amazing loving creatures and not one is the same! I have two rescue dogs of my own. One is Miss (Queen) Kona an Australian Cattle dog mix who my family agrees is just about perfect. She is the reason we adopted Buddy, he is a special needs dog with anxiety and a multitude of issues we have been working through. He has a very sweet side to him that always gives us hope and makes us love him more. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog sitting needs. Contact me and we can talk! I am currently off for the summer since I work in a school. I can spend time caring for and playing with fur babies. I can visit up to 4 times a day or have them stay at my house. I am available full-time from August 15th to August 29th. After the 29th, I will be available weekends only, Friday evening to Sunday evening. I have a fenced-in yard for exercise and fun. I no longer have dogs at home, so your pet will be the center of my attention! When I visit, I will make sure the water bowl is full and clean. I will feed at the proper times and clean up any messes. The rest of the time it will be spend time having fun with your pet.

“Corinne was so awesome to my two babies! Appreciate all the updates and pictures and will definitely have her look after them whenever I am in need.”

About: I've always loved animals and have had cats since I was 8 years old. I currently have four cats, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Over the years, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and coworkers, including dogs and cats. I've welcomed dogs and cats into my home for overnight stays, provided drop-in visits to feed and care for cats, and taken care of pets while their owners were away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll always treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own pets. I also love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner's needs. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I'm happy to follow your pet's routine to keep them comfortable while you're away. Communication is important to me, and I'll always keep you updated throughout your pet's care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I'll follow all of your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special care your pet requires. I understand every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have a genuine love for animals with over 25 years experience in personally caring for Dogs, Cats, Small Animals, Reptiles and so much more. I am available full time to care for all types of pets, I am looking to turn my endless love for animals into a career. I pay attention to detail with each individual pets needs, I am able to administer medication if needed and accommodate any other special needs or requests the pet owners may have.

About: Dogs have been my whole heart for as long as I can remember. I started walking and babysitting pups when I was 13, and I’ve never stopped. Over the years I’ve grown up with and cared for Labs, an English Bulldog, a Jack Russell, a Cocker Spaniel, a Pit Bull mix, a Cattle Dog, a Great Dane, and a French Bulldog, so big, small, sleepy, or full of zoomies, I adore them all. My newest family member is a sweet Cavalier King Charles who loves making new dog friends, so your pup will have a gentle buddy to play with (or snuggle with, if that’s more their style). What your dog can expect with me: A cozy home in West Nyack with a fenced-in yard and a separate downstairs space to relax A crate already set up if your dog feels safest with one Lots of attention. I work from home part-time, so I’m around and my schedule is flexible with a little notice Comfortable, careful medication care, including injections Plenty of photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing When your dog stays with me, they’re treated like family. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and loved. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet your pup! 💛 It’s pretty much my hobby! I’ve been fostering this year, I watch, all of my friends animals and more. Always go out every few hours. Never left alone long. I treat all dogs like they’re my own, take them out every few hours or for walks, more if necessary, they have full access to the bed, couch, can use a crate if they like that more. Happy to adhere to any guidelines.

About: I grew up in a big family with lots of pets including dogs, cats, rodents, and birds. I have been successful in self-taught basic training of dogs. I am a graduate student who plans to have pet care be a source of income that fits around my schedule. I have classes during the week and currently live on campus which is why I cannot provide care in my home. I have owned many pets in my life and have cared for different ages from puppies and kittens to seniors. I enjoy promoting enrichment activities and physical exercise.

“Great experience!! Marisa just finished several days of daily drop-ins for my three precious brother cats. They had the same sitter for almost nine years in TX, but we moved back to NY and did not have anyone here yet for nearly two years. I was so nervous about having a new sitter because our cats require so much TLC and laptime, and so one of us always stayed behind with them. I knew the moment I walked in from our trip, that the kitties were calm and happy. Marisa gave them so much TLC and kept me informed daily with photos and reports about how well they were adjusting. Marisa is truly an animal person, and I could see how they naturally took to her right away. She was thorough and confident with instructions and care, and she reassured me that they would be in good hands!!! Very true and very happy to share that!!”

About: For almost all of my life I have had either beloved cats or dogs. I can do long walks or cat playtime. I am also an animal advocate. My small dog with a big friendly personality, who recently passed at age 14, was epileptic and I kept her close. We were besties. I got to spend a lot of time with other dogs with her. Before that I always had cats, I get them, and I find them all cute and hilarious. I have a flexible schedule, mornings are best, right now Mon-wed.. Can take a long walk or just hang out with your animal. Weekends are great. I live in Somers and work part time in Pleasantville. So anywhere in between is great. Will not be caring for dogs in my home at this time, unless very small/tiny and quiet. I can come to your house happy to travel if for a longer stay.

About: I was a mama to my Olde English Bulldogge boy Lolek for 11 years. I have 3 dogs, a 2 year old Bull Terrier female named Koko, an almost 2 year old Cockapoo named Nala and a handsome boy named Zane that is a Bernedoodle Pit-Bull mix. I’m a homeschool mama with a flexible schedule. I homeschool my kids so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available during the week as well as the weekend. I only my be unavailable for services between 5pm-7pm as I may be taking my kids to extracurricular activities. I have 2 dogs at home so I welcome pets that get along with other animals. I have a 1.7 acre unfenced yard and love walks in my neighborhood and playtime in my yard. My dogs are crated during the night and when I am not home. I welcome pets that sleep in the crate during the night but also can accommodate well trained sleepers that need a bed or sofa. I can train your pup with simple commands and can give a bath as needed (for extra cost). I do have a dog kennel outside that I can use to let the pets I care for safely run around and play with each other.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

About: With a strong background as a Veterinary Assistant and a Pre-Veterinary student, I bring professional, hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I have completed multiple Patterson Veterinary Academy online certificates, including training in safe pet handling, animal body language, sanitation and cleaning protocols, and overall animal care standards. Through my education and clinical experience, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, ensure proper handling, and create a calm, safe environment for pets of all temperaments. My approach is rooted in patience, compassion, and safety—treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand that trust is essential when caring for your pet, and my goal is to provide peace of mind to families while giving pets attentive, knowledgeable, and loving care every step of the way. Im currently working part time at the white plains veterinary hospital i am a veterinary assistant therefore my schedule works perfectly for time with your pets When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. As a Veterinary Assistant and Pre-Veterinary student, I follow proper handling techniques, closely observe body language, and adjust care based on each pet’s individual needs and temperament. I ensure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and enrichment. I maintain a clean and sanitized environment, follow any medical or behavioral instructions carefully, and monitor pets for signs of stress or health concerns. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, providing calm, loving, and reliable care while keeping owners informed with updates for peace of mind

“Excellent care. I would definitely use Caelinn again.”

About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.

“Annalee and Josh were AMAZING with our dog. We will be using them again and I highly recommend!”

About: I provide calm, attentive pet care for dogs and cats who are happiest with plenty of individual attention and a familiar routine. I grew up around animals and have cared for pets for family and clients on both sides of the Atlantic. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person looking after your pet and, for house sitting, your home. For boarding and daycare, I offer a quiet home environment in White Plains with a large fenced yard and no pets of my own. I keep bookings intentionally limited, which means your dog is not entering a busy home full of unfamiliar animals. I especially enjoy caring for dogs who are very attached to their people, a little anxious in new environments, older, or simply happiest with more personal attention. I work from home and genuinely enjoy having a dog as part of my day. Depending on their personality and routine, that might mean long walks, time in the yard, play, lounging around the house, or simply having someone nearby. I follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep routines as closely as possible because I believe good pet care should feel familiar to them, not like their entire life has suddenly changed because their people went away. I also offer in home pet and house sitting for animals who are most comfortable staying in their own space. I treat every home with respect and keep pets on the routines they know, whether that means a 7 AM walk, medication at a specific time, or a cat who has very strong opinions about where dinner should be served. My background is in hospitality and event management, so reliability, organization, and communication are second nature to me. You can expect regular photos and updates, clear communication, and someone who takes the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. Some want adventures. Some want the yard. Some want to spend the entire afternoon attached to your hip. I’m very happy to accommodate all three. 🐾 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a traditional office job. I keep my bookings intentionally limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and build my day around their normal routine. Depending on the pet, that might include morning and evening walks, midday yard time, play, meals, medication, or simply plenty of company throughout the day. I’m home for much of the day and can accommodate dogs who enjoy being close to their person, while still following whatever routine they are accustomed to at home. My goal is to make their time with me feel relaxed, predictable, and genuinely enjoyable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or theirs, I take the responsibility seriously. I follow feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any household instructions carefully, while also paying attention to the individual animal in front of me. At my home in White Plains, dogs have a calm environment, a large fenced yard, and no resident pets to navigate. I keep bookings intentionally limited and make sure gates and doors are secure before any outdoor time. I also follow each owner’s instructions around walks, sleeping arrangements, feeding, crating, and how long their pet can comfortably be left alone. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep things tidy, maintain your pet’s familiar routine, and send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your time away without wondering what is happening back home. Before a first booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, health needs, triggers, and emergency contacts so I can provide care that feels both safe and personal.

“Christine was wonderful with my car, Lucas. He is a very social pet and Christine made an incredible effort to take care of him. I'll definitely book her in the future”
