House Sitting in West Kinderhook

“Amie did a fantastic job cat-sitting for us and put our minds completely at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She went out of her way to make everything very easy for us, including the meet and greet and returning our keys. She also sent great pictures, and she left our home very clean and tidy. We definitely recommend her.”

“First time using Rover & can honestly say that I’ll be using it again after having Morgan as our puppy helper. By far one of the most knowledgeable, caring & kindest young lady’s you’ll come in contact with! Took such good care of our Frenchie & hopefully the next time we choose to use this service we’ll be able to choose her again! Side note - She’ll send you pictures of the puppy/dog periodically through the entire experience.”

“Kent is great! My dog is really anxious and has a lot of energy. He doesn’t warm up to people quickly but they became best buds right away. My dog was exhausted when I got home. The last time I had to use a dog sitter my dogs eating habits would change and showcase a lot of separation anxiety every time! This time I returned to a happy well adjusted puppy who had a great time with his best friend. My house was spotless when I returned home as well. Thanks!”

“Morgan did an amazing job caring for my senior lab Cooper. I hope he would be interested in the future for long weekends etc. Thank you Morgan!!!”

“Bree was awesome and the cats appeared to like her also. She sent pictures and even took out the trash. We will be using her services again. It is so relaxing to be away and know that your pets are happy and well taken care of. I can't say enough about Bree.”

About: I love animals and will take very good care of your pets! Play time and cuddling with no extra charge while keeping them very happy!! I am looking for a side gig that involves furry animals. I have a flexible schedule and I am open to anytime you need someone to look after your pets! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that I play with daily. I let the dogs outside routinely but when it is Spring/Summer I let them outside for a longer period of time to get some of their energy out. In Fall/Winter I don’t let them out as long since it starts to get colder. For the cats I change the litter when needed and make sure they get just as much attention but also give them their space!

About: I have trained and taken care of puppies older and younger puppies also have taken care of Senior dogs making sure they get all the nutrients and tender loving care that they deserve I work part time at a job and have most of my days available and work during the nights meaning that I am a night shifter so I am available during days I care for pets how I would care for my children making sure they have plenty of food and water and make sure they feel safe and loved

“⸻ Dara was absolutely amazing with Cate! She took care of her like she was her own—so sweet, reliable, and totally in tune with Cate’s little quirks and routines. I got daily updates with the cutest photos and videos, which made being away so much easier and more comforting. Cate can be a bit shy, but she clearly felt super safe and happy with Dara. I came home to a calm, cuddly cat and a spotless place. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Dara—she’s a total gem!!”

About: I have always loved taking care of animals of every kind and I have been doing it for forever. If you let me take care of your pet, they will be loved and cherished and you will have a trustworthy and respectful person in your home. I am currently a college student so I am hoping to work with your pets on my breaks at home. On breaks or weekends I will be over to see your pet regularly and I will make sure each pet is well taken care of. That means working them into my daily routine. At your home, I am putting your pet and your house first. I will clean, take care of and watch anything you need me to while you give me permission to be at your home with your pet. No matter what I will make sure your house is taken care of and your pet is comfortable around me.

About: I’ve had first hand experience in training and taking care of one client’s dog from daily walks and bathing and grooming. I absolutely love dogs and want to expand more! I’m currently working part time. I am also a single mom. I’m available on Mondays during school hours, during the week in the afternoon/evening as well as the weekends. I will provide safe environment for your dog! There is also a dog park nearby. So you can count on daily walks or runs! Any selfies we take will be sent to you! :D

About: Throughout my life I have cared for two cats and a Bichon-Frise/Poodle Mix. I was involved in caring for my dog from the day he came to us: showing him how to use stairs within those first couple of days and teaching commands for the next couple of years. Inevitably he aged, and over time I developed a familiarity with handling the many facets of caring for an aging dog: arthritis, anxiety, mobility challenges, and mood shifts. I learned the tricks for keeping him calm in the car, and those for getting him to take his medications. In all those years I consistently played with him in our fields, took him for walks, and ignored his grouching when I bumped him in his sleep. I love all animals very much, but as an innately energetic person, and as someone who is convinced (like most) that I had the best dog in the world, I find I bond most quickly and most deeply with dogs. I would be thrilled to meet yours. I am a recent college graduate looking for work while I job search. I do have a part time job, but with enough notice I am happy to arrange my shifts to suit your animal’s needs. I typically work evenings. In general I do my best to follow the pet's pace/lead, prioritizing the animal's comfort whenever possible. I follow provided schedules in a regimented manner, and if a schedule is not provided, then I will develop one myself. I take things like medication management and potty breaks very seriously, aware that when an owner is gone, pets are often stressed, and this stress can exacerbate pain and/or behavioral struggles. Regardless of the weather I am always happy to move and be active, so regular walks/exercise with pets is no trouble. As a pet lover, quality time is never an inconvenience either. I am more than thrilled, if your pet is more of a lounger than a runner, to just sit with them and relax.

About: I have taken care of my household dogs, cats, and bird since I was 6 years old. I started watching family members animals when I was about 13 years old, giving me 5 years of experience with pet care. I grew up on a saddlebred farm, so I am very used to taking care of all types of animals. I am also very used to giving medication to dogs. I am a current college student at the University of Alabama and take classes from 10 am to 2 pm. However, I am dedicated to taking care of your animals and will prioritize them after my classes are over. During pet sitting I will walk, feed, and make sure your dog has water before I leave for class, and then come straight back to the house to walk your dog again. When I am pet/house sitting I will follow your guidelines on feeding times and rules. When it comes to walking I will ensure they will get a lot of outside time whether that includes letting them outside to play in the backyard, or taking them on several walks throughout the day. When I am overnight pet sitting I walk them at least once at night.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, at one point we had 10. I’ve taken dog sat for many people in my church and in our neighborhood. I am currently a freshman at Trine University, so afternoons are best for me! I typically get out of class at 1 pm Monday-Friday. Thursdays I am completely free. I have a wood fenced yard that my two dogs play in and have plenty of space to roam. I can easily care for your dog if they have any special needs that need to be met.

About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!

“Michelle made my family feel at ease about leaving our dog at home during our trip. She took excellent care of Rue and of our home while we were gone for a couple of days. We got daily pictures of Rue and we knew she was being loved on the whole time. I highly recommend Michelle!”

About: The majority of my dog sitting caring experiance is for medium-large sized dogs such as Heelers, Huskies, Golden Doodles, and Corgies to name a few. I dog sat for family, friends, neighbors in high school then split my time childcare once I began college. I love all animals truly. I have two cats (an orange tabby and a Maine Coon mix) and a gorgeous Blue Heeler mix. So everything from overnight to quick walks I am at your disposal. I am currently working part-time in the mornings, so afternnoons and night stays work for me. This applies for both week days and weekends. My availablity is very flexible so I look to work around your schedule. My care is completely dependent on the need of each animal. If your baby needs to be hand fed every hour or just a pre-walk snuggle, I'm on it. Regardless giving them love and meeting your expectations is the priority.
