Pet Sitting in West Kinderhook

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 have been a huge animal lover since I was a child. I am skilled in basic obedience, positive reinforcement, recognizing discomfort, patience, and friendship I am a stay at home mom with 1 dog and 2 cats. I am with my pets all day long. My dog is my best friend in the whole world, my two cats are polar opposites of each other. The calm and the crazy lol. We make it work. My dog Bo is very anxious just like his mom lol so he requires extra cuddles throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house. I treat my dog like he is my baby and I would absolutely do the same for yours. My dog is with me on the couch when I'm on the couch and he's in my bed in the morning lol You only get one life. I spoil him rotten ♥

About: I grew up with dogs and many other animals. I currently have a dog with my boyfriend and 2 dogs at my parent’s house! I also have 2 cats and a parrot. I have had a hamsters, hedgehogs, snake, frogs, parrots, cats, and dogs. I volunteer at the humane society from time to time as well:) I have experience with medication and special treatment for animals. With cats comes litter.. so I scoop very often and change their water fountain and feed them as well. I clip their claws once a week. I feed my dog twice daily, water him, take him on a walks, make sure to get him groomed once a month.. he’s a corgi haha. My parrot has her water changed 1-2 times daily, food refilled. She has to have cream applied to a boo boo she has once daily. And lots of pets and lovins for everyone is a given!! I extensively care for all of my pets and treat them with love and respect and your pet would be no different. I have experience crating, medicating, etc. and can always accommodate!

About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.

About: I’ve loved walking and caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away, and I always keep their safety and well-being my top priority.

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

“Barbara was FANTASTIC!! I strongly recommend her. My fiance and I went to Florida for our spring break and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my dog and chickens. When I reached out to Barbara, she was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet right away. She took care of Lester AND my chickens (she let the chickens out in the morning and closed the coop at night). She came to my house twice a day. Her price per visit is very reasonable and she does more than what's expected. Most importantly, she takes a ton of pictures!! Seeing pictures morning and afternoon of my dog and chickens eased my mind and made me happy. She's GREAT with animals and is very experienced. She knows what she's doing and has a kind/loving personality. Next time I go out of the state, I will definitely use her as my sitter. Hands-down. Thanks Barbara!! Hope you'll continue doing this.”

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!

“Elizabeth stopped by to let my two dogs out while I was traveling for work. They both took to her immediately! I felt so much better knowing they would be able to get some play-time in while my husband was at work and I was gone. The pics she sent during her visits made my day. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her to watch my fur-babies again. Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Gracyn is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my babies. They’re was no sign of stress or separation anxiety in my pets (two dogs) when I got back after 6 days. Even my very shy cat was herself when I returned! I didn’t have any stress either (lol, very important!) and I was able to enjoy myself knowing they were being watched over so well. I will definitely use Gracyn again.”

“Bree went above and beyond when we had an emergency on our vacation far from home. Recommend her heartily (make sure to leave a nice tip if she has to climb through your window).”

About: Hello! My name is Brooklyn. I am currently a pre vet college student and I plan to work with and help animals for the rest of my life. I work at VCA Portage Animal Hospital in boarding, and for some pets that is fine, but I fully understand that some pets do much better to stay in the home while their parents must leave for a bit, and I am excited to help provide that comfort to your fur babies. I love dogs, cats, birds and horses of all shapes and sizes, I am very comfortable with medications should your pet have any, and I fully believe in the power of cuddling. Thank you for your consideration, I can’t wait to hear from you. Have an awesome day! As a college student and part time veterinary assistant, I have a flexible schedule. And dog time is essential, so that is worked into my schedule no matter what! I am in the process of moving currently so at this time I am not accepting boarding animals in my house, but if you need anything specific, message me and we might be able to figure something out!

“If I could leave ten stars I would. Halle is simply the most intuitive, most attentive, and most caring sitters that my two cats have had the pleasure of spending time with. I cannot recommend Halle more favorably!”

About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.

“I booked a 15 day drop in for my three pets. He was great with all of them and even cared for the living room when my pets made a mess while I am gone. I would definitely recommend booking him for your pet sitting needs. He cared for the pets perfectly even when there was slow communication due to time difference being on a trip overseas. I never had to worry even when there was a time difference since he always updated with communication even when I couldn’t reply right away. I will definitely book him again if possible when I go on my next trip.”
