Cat Sitting in Vermontville

“Shauna took great care of our cat and was excellent about providing photos and commentary about how he was doing while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive sitter.”

Brandon V.

“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!”

“Julia was amazing with Leon on her drop in visit with him. She paid so much attention to him and was so patient with him. He is a senior so that is exactly what he needs. We will be having her back to look after him soon!”

About: I've been around pets and have helped take care of them ever since I was a child. Growing up we always had at least 1 dog and 1 cat but mostly we had 2 of each until they passed of old age. More recently my partner and I have a 5 year old doberman that we have raised since he was a puppy. Pet care is very important to me and I will not take a job unless I know I can give the pet the care it deserves I work flexibly full time so I will have the chance to check up on your pets semi often if needed. Early morning check ins, afternoon walks, and nightly walks/check-ins are all easily done with my schedule. For first time clients I always want to meet the pets and owners first to make sure there is no issues and everyone gets along. From there we can discuss how to best care for your pet and I can learn what they need.

About: Serving Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, and Tupper Lake. Local pickup possible depending on schedule. I generally take up to three dogs at a time and have one dog of my own. All guest dogs must tolerate other dogs. I've lived with dogs since I was 5 years old. Beagles, Dachshunds, Shepards, and currently a beagle mix named Cedar. I've rarely known life without a dog and I wouldn't have it any other way! Cedar and I love adventuring around the Adirondacks and the neighborhood. I've got a large unfenced yard so your doggy can enjoy exploring on a leash or time out on a lead if they like, between walks and other adventures! I do work 9-5 Monday-Friday so your dog should be OK being left alone for up to 8 hours. Cedar loves other dogs and loves playing so if your pup likes other dogs they should have a blast together! I am located 10 minutes from Lake Placid and 20 minutes from Tupper Lake. Pick-up in either of these towns may be possible depending on my schedule. I also have a XL crate available for visiting dogs, if your friend does better in a crate when left alone (otherwise they will be free to roam the house). LATE PICK UP: there may be a late departure fee of $10 if you plan on picking your pet up after 12PM on the departure day. I work 9-5 Mon-Fri and may be out of the house for up to 8 hours. Your dog should be OK being left alone during this time. I will leave dogs loose in my house or I can crate them if needed. I keep a XL crate on hand for dogs up to 80lbs. Dogs live with me and my dog Cedar as if they were my own. If they get along with others they are left to roam the house when I am not home. Otherwise they can also be crated. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have two leads for potty breaks.

About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s Australian Labradoodle, Penny, ever since we got her, 5 years ago. In these past couple years I’ve facilitated dozens of “doggy play dates” (communal dog walking and play time at dog parks and backyards) with dogs of all different sizes. I am very comfortable and confident with all types of dogs, and often dog sit and dog walk for friends and neighbors when they are out of town. I currently live in Burlington and am free on weekends and after 5pm MWF and after 6pm Tuesday and Thursday. I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets if it makes you, or them, more comfortable! I’m comfortable caring for pets in new environments. I can crate, feed, walk, and play with your animals, and will be clean and respectful to your space and home.

“Karen communicated well and took great care of our cats.”

“Alli has to be the best Rover sitter I’ve ever booked! She looked after my cat Luna over the thanksgiving holiday and did such a great job. She was super communicative and responsive, and sent me lots of photos and videos with her updates each day. Luna was very happy when I got back and so was I! Will definitely book with her again!”

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.

“Tommy replied quickly to request. Sent pics of pets. Everything went smoothly.”

About: I have a background in veterinary medicine and that’s where I gained my knowledge of and love for dogs. My boyfriend and I work as a dog sitting team. We both work from home and are available to supervise pets all day. We have 57 acres of land for walking and playing. We are equipped to provide nail trims and ear cleanings, if requested. We are also available to pick up and drop off dogs. My partner and I work as a team to take care of pets. One or both of us is typically home at any given point, making it easy for us to supervise pets all day. We have 57 acres of land. This is mostly unfenced and we can walk dogs on a leash if necessary. We have two dogs of our own, who are very well trained and love to play. We are committed to providing positive socialization and training experiences for pets.

About: Have had pets since I was a child, over 20 years. I am a current pet and livestock owner. I have dogs, goats, bunnies and chickens. I am available most week days and every other weekend. I can be flexible, but it would have to work around my full time job. I am willing to drop in and walk your dog for as long as you'd like. Will play catch, ball and run them when possible.

“Jennifer is outstanding! Her knowledge and attention to detail kept me from worrying about my kitties, one who needs meds. I will certainly be contacting her in the future!”

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: When I lived in Syracuse where my family resides I spent years taking care of my brothers Energetic Beagle named Daisy! I care and love to take care of animals as if they were my own! ☺️ I currently have a full time job Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 5pm. I am free after 5 pm during the week and all day on weekends. I rent out my building I reside in so I unfortunately can’t have pets at my place, but will travel to someone else’s. Each owner usually has different preferences usually on what they’d like for their pet so I will take any instruction that is given. I will make sure your pets are well fed, have plenty of water and exercise.

“Took good care of my cats. Did everything I asked for, and even cleaned up some vomit on the floor, plus cleaned the wet food plates. Will do business again. Thank you”

“Erica is fantastic! This was our first time using a pet sitting service and we were nervous, but Erica quickly put our minds at ease. She came over before the booking to meet our cat, Gilbert, and they immediately clicked. She is clearly a pet-person. We booked Erica for a week of drop-in visits while we were away on vacation. She was punctual and a great communicator, sending pictures of our fur baby each day. There was a major snowstorm and 12+ hour power outage while we were away, and Erica went above and beyond to communicate with us and make sure Gilbert’s needs were met. She even shoveled our walkway! We highly recommend Erica and will definitely book with her again.”

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.

“Aleah took great care of our kitties. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and even befriended our timid guy. We are super appreciative to have someone spend time with our cats since they love company!”
